Ceiling

The ceiling will be 3/16 inch plywood that is held in place with aluminum channel. The channel is bolted to either parts of the metal van structure, or in some cases it is attached to wood that I have already installed. I added "rivnuts" to the channel. Rivnuts are threaded inside like a nut, but they are squeezed into the channel with a special tool similar to how a rivet is installed. 1/4" bolts screwed into the rivnuts will hold the plywood ceiling panels up tight against the aluminum channel and form the overhead ceiling.


I managed to get three ceiling panels installed, each of them 2 feet wide. But, other than installing some overhead lights in the three ceiling panels, I don't think I'll do much more ceiling work until next winter.
