In the 10th video in our 2021 Ford Transit van conversion series, we framed out our walls and ceiling! First, we used M6 rivet nuts and a rivet nut tool to insert threads into the pre-fab holes in the van. We then covered the exposed sheet metal with Low-E reflective foam core for a little bit of insulation, making sure to cut out holes where we had inserted our rivet nuts. Then we used M6 35mm flathead screws to screw our plywood boards onto the walls and ceiling. This video was filmed over the course of 2 weeks.

For the walls, we ended up needing thirteen douglas fir 1x4s that were 3/4" thick, and three 1x6s of the same.
For the ceiling, we used a sheet of 1/2" plywood for more flexibility.
