The (e)Scape Pod is gettin pimped!

Ceiling and wall panels all fitted in place!! Should look quite fresh once I get some trim on them!! I acquired 8 hella marine LED's to fit into the ceiling panels.

Escape Pod Preparation V. 178-420.1

Escape pod is well under way. Most of the appliances for the vehicle are on order and should be arriving by next week. We are now working tirelessly to get the interior finished in preparation for the installation of the interior structures. Following appliances have been ordered (Wholesale of course!)

Dometic 3-way refrigerator
Atwood Everest II furnace
2 Fantastic Vents
3000W Inverter
4 optima blue top deep cycle batteries

We sourced some great vinyl and headliner from a local fabric store for the interior coverings. Should look quite fresh!

Today we will see what the local Habitat for Humanity has to offer the escape pod!

Corn + Vinyl = Trouble

Sprayglue might be a bit toxic.

Immense amounts of planning is required for such intergalactic activities.

So it has been a while since we have touched the blog. Chad is in Berkeley, and I am back in NC desperately trying to escape..so I am building an escape pod! I purchased a 2005 Sprinter and currently sourcing materials from the outer regions of the universe to fuel it's intergalactic voyages! Escape date is set for December 24. Then to Myrtle Beach, SC for Christmas. Then to Miami, FL for New Years! Keep checking back to see the progress!
