And the passenger rear seat and step area
So.. it kinda works. Like the factory heat shield underneath.. trapped moisture is a concern with the foam boards I used instead of the rockwool stuff I was optimistic about for discussion. Before everyone pooped on it because it's not the way its...
Passenger side, the most heat from the collector and motor being closer to that side.
Front Step area
Floor area, darker(cooler) spot
Hot spot seen better in the other picture because I had my cup holder thing in the way, but square is where the color variation showed more heat.
My bedliner kit sitting on the shelf had an issue, the activator began hardening up. So I got another kit of raptor liner, added some of the hocus pocus ceramic sphere stuff and started applying it. I then ran out and had to use the thickened activator and some clearcoat hardener to get it...
Got most of the odyssey seats installed.. now I need to get seat belts mounted and a bracket for seats 7/8 for occasional use.
The odyssey center console is cool and could be applied to other interior plans by itself. Folds down out of the way and has 4 cup holders ?
The bedliner install.. train wreck of my activator going bad and getting another kit to run out and barely covering the last bit using the half hardened activator and some clearcoat hardener. Haha ?♂
Under insulation update. I added the ceramic bead insulating stuff to the bedliner but under estimated the amount of bedliner a van floor would take.. so it isn't very thick. Since I was running low on material, I didn't spray any around the steps where the plastic covers go. That area doesn't...
I ordered a steering column gauge pod without looking into it much and thankfully it actually fits perfectly.. for what it is. " AutoMeter Gauge Works Steering Column Single 2 1/16 Pod Mount 97-01 Ford F150 " for $45 on ebay. Trucks and the early vans must have the same steering wheel cover...
I get that bedliner isn't a good insulator. I am putting a lot of hopes and dreams into the "insulating additive", lol. I don't expect too much but I'm willing to try something different to find out. I'm mostly going to be dealing with hot weather insulation needs. Thought the underside being...
Ran out of butyl foil tape, but 90% done. I am leaving the edges, outside of the frame width, to do when I get it running again. So I can get the transmission in and fuel tanks installed ASAP, and do the edges at work one day.
I figured out the seat locations so I will do that while it's...
It is a lot of work, but paired with removing the fuel tank for other reasons it doesn't seem as terrible.
I think I only found one example of under insulation, using foam panels. Maybe a mention here or there without doing it. So for those that would be interested in it, they might find this...
Thinking outside the box. My researching of options to insulate the floor of my econoline, and have a bedliner utility option, lead me to under floor insulation. Then to the rockwool rigid board insulation. From what I can tell, it is a "perfect" option for this. Fire resistant, noise...
Well, researching insulation options, literally outside of the box. Insulating underneath the van floor. I want spray in bedliner for work use AND insulation. Talk about having my cake and eating it too! I got some ceramic bead additive to add to the bedliner to have an effect similar to...
Pulled the transmission because e40ds suck... and while it was out of the way, I started working on some things underneath. Made the rear tank fuel pocket today.

Got the fuel pumps installed today. I ran around town to get the parts but I couldn't find the grommet for the rollover valves. I will try the dealer tomorrow or order them online. The truck rear tank sending unit needs to be modified for the 38 gallon tank since it wasn't a factory option. I...
More pictures i didn't post before.
Scrap tread plate, and leftover steel from the bumper to make skid plates.
Bent some straps to keep the tank in the skid plate and then mounting the skid plate to the chassis...
Decided what to do. Going to get the nylon fuel lines and fittings to make an "engine to frame" fuel return line. Instead of an adapter to the van's return line.
Midship tank, smaller dent to fit where the filler neck will line up...
Well, I got the skid plates and mounting all in place and tacked together. Going to weld it up tomorrow. But the biggest hiccup I have come across so far, are the fuel lines.
Part one: The dual tank donor truck lines didn't fit as it seemed. It is about 12-18" too short. So my...
Started the 87- 1996? f150 f250 dual fuel tank swap today. Posting pictures is not cooperating on my phone tonight. So U will try again tomorrow. About 85% done with the front tank mounts and skid plate fabrication. Hope to finish that and start the rear tank tomorrow. Then plumbing and wiring...
Well, I assume I don't have adequate fuel pressure. But I don't know for sure because my fuel pressure tool wouldn't read anything today. But with my quigley tank leaking anyways, and a friend having a new 90-96 f250 16 gallon midship fuel tank kicking around his shop, I went ahead and ordered...
Motor update, the cylinder heads tested fine, so I ordered a new gasket set and started re-assembly. If I was a little more patient and experienced in motor stuff I could have diagnosed it to the valves not closing fully, without pulling the motor. I ordered some shims for the pedestal rockers...
