He calls himself ‘HandMadeMatt‘ and he does a kick ass job as turning nothing, into something. Or something plain, into something super duper cool!
For this project, Matt used a Luton style box van as a starting point for his creation. Being a Ford, parts were cheap and readily available if needed.
Check out the post and after if you want more details about the construction of this awesome beast…check out Matt’s page here.
Matt started cutting away!
Once all the doors and windows were installed the whole van was insulated with polystyrene sheets.
At the back of the Luton box was a sliding shutter door that opens right up!
