- If you do anything in this video, it is at your own risk! Especially using the Procreate app. It's very addictive.
I am halfway through my van high top shell construction. All of it has been DIY except for the welding. The design has a 23" high front and 20" back to allow for rain and such to roll off and not pool.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions! I'm not an expert but I'll help if I can.

Wish you had pt2
Genuinely impressed that you're DIYing a high top on an express van, not many people have the bravery required for such a project. Bravo!
I fully expect to have some regrets down the road since I am doing this by the seat of my pants, but I'm learning lots and hopefully making mistakes so that people who follow after don't!
Excelente podrías decirme que materiales utilizaste en que medidas y cantidades ...woow Felicidades me encantó ..saludos desde Venezuela
NICE!!
You had the same idea as me but I think I’ll go with sheet metal
Much more practical to use metal, aluminum if you can because it’s light. But wood was right for my project :)
I was also thinking to do it out aluminum let's see how it comes out I will be posting some videos
Wow nice, waiting for part 2, (btw where are your assistant 😻)
Cool. Is that in Utah? Or Idaho? How much did the metal top cost with the welding and all that? I've seen some people use wood which looks easier but not sure how strong.
I don't understand how anything dried in those weather conditions.
Do work in a metal shop? Or do you just have all those tools yourself??
Hey I love what you did here! I'm hoping to raise the roof on my van as well. I was wondering how this impacted your insurance?
Why didn't you ever do a part 2 to this?
Great Job! I would have put on the plywood siding before I put the shell on the roof. Any reason why you didn't do that? Would it have been too heavy to lift?

Really impressive, thanks for sharing :)
I can’t find part 2
What's that wiegh about 400 lbs?
*Is that roll on material ceramic?*
What size steel tubing was used for the frame?
How many feet is that now?
What size/gauge is the steel?
Can’t remember the gauge offhand, but it’s 1 inch tubing for most of it and 1x1.5 for the base where it attaches to the van.
*FREAKAZOITS!.... Is it just me or is she seriously a keeper? Really hot!*
I need a cigarette. Crazy impressive.
Seriously? Loose the steel and plywood. Way to heavy. Use aluminum for the frame.
If you’ve got experience with aluminum and how to seal/weld it, it’s a great option, though not very strong If there’s an accident. As it stands my shell added 350lbs. I’m happy with it and like the look a LOT better than an aluminum one.
