Sprinter: ‘Upfitted’

Progress on the VW & Mercedes Benz mash up last week. Josh Sorenson of ‘Sorenson Auto Body’ wrapped up the seat rail bracket fabrication on Tuesday, having it painted and bolted in Wednesday gave me the chance to debut the van to family and guests on Thanksgiving day. Tradition dictates that we load up family and friends for a trip into the Stillwater National Forest to harvest a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. The 4×4 mobil base camp is taking shape.

Next steps involve adjusting the rials forward in the van, adding a stand alone diesel heater, ski storage boxes in the back, bike mounts, re-install the vinyl floor and insulation, sleeping solution for two people, custom lower wall panels to accommodate the needs of the back seat passengers, LED lighting, USB plugs, sub woofer etc…

Sprinter: ‘Upfitting’

Getting prepped on this side of the Atlantic for the auto chop shop Polish seat mafia Mercedes Benz + VW mashup make over… secured a heated enclosed machine shop stall in a local warehouse for next month. It’s all coming together, UPS left a giant roll of automotive Thinsulate on my porch last night, while everything is torn apart for the seat swap, i’ll add the Thinsulate in the walls and ceiling for sound and temperature upgrade.

Arts and Crafts: Valentines 2014

The founder of the Muldown Elementary School “Shark Club” made a special request for a Valentines Card collection box this year. She wanted a shark with its mouth open, and the kids in her class would place the cards into the sharks mouth. Simple enough, theme is appropriate on several levels.

Out to the shop we go, Isabelle and I collaborated on the production with her helping me design and measure the prototype, then I cut and glued the parts for her. Using the band saw, a hot wire knife and the spindle sander we created a memorable Valentines Day for her and possibly one or two of her classmates.
