Man this van is looking great!! Talk about labor of love. Can you go with vinyl tiles that look like stone. Easy to maintain and won't break. Just a thought.
My wife would have ran and called me crazy on this one. She sees it as now, not what it could be. Visual person.
Keep up the great work!!

Best way to do it, but keep in mind the thickness of all of these materials.

I think your van would look great with tiles. Good luck on the roof hunt too. Your vans looking totally different from when you first brought it home, keep up the awesome work.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice. Darrin, your old chevy is what got me thinking tile n the first place, i need to measure these tiles but i think they are 18x18. I do remember that the tile in your(GR"s)van looks great. Ill keep posted on what i come up with. Thanks all so much for the compliments, really helps keep me motivated in this 98 degree heat!

Love the tile idea! But in my opinion smaller tiles would look better.
Keep the updates coming.

i believe this is the reason my brakes were hanging up, id hit the pedal, then have to pull it back up with my foot. MC was leaking all over the booster. Checked the booster for leaks, and didnt seem to find any.
