Dang, dude! That is absolutely STUNNING! Factory-quality job!
I only wish mine was gonna turn out a fraction that nice, but there's no way.

Really though, SUPERB work! WTG! :applause:

I have two questions:

1) Please show and tell more details about your ceiling. I want mine to have a similar quality job.

2) What type of mattress are you using, where did you get it?

Thanks,
Andrew

WOW!! Now that is really nice! If you don't mind I will be using a few of your ideas in my build.

I am very interested in the ceiling construction. I just "nailed" 1-inch insulation to my ceiling and have been scratching my head over how to attach the luan....what are the wood strips you used to screw thru to attach the luan to the roof joists and what type of screws did you use? self-tapping?
Did you glue/liquid nail also?

thanx, jim

Wow, thats very professional looking. I was an interior trim carpenter for 8 years and I dont think I could do better work with all my tools. Very, very clean work.

Man, thanks a bunch! I had this same idea and drew it out on paper, logged on to this site and found your post with everything done. You saved me a ton of time.

Looks reaaly good, I hope mine turns out half as nice.

Hi, Sorry it to so long for a responce. I hadn't checked the site for awhile. Alot of people wonder about my roof. I did not use anything to attach my insulation. I just cut it a little big and it stuck right in. The arch of the roof line make it kinda self supporting. The panneling was the same way. Luan is not as thick and may not self-support. I had to bend the panels to get them in. Once its in its very hard to get out. My roof supports are every 2 ft so I had a support under each seam and one in the middle of each full size sheet. I added wood strips every 2 ft for continuity. The wood strips are primarily to cover the seams for a clean look but also do add alot of holding power to. I used self-tapping screws and went right into the steel supports. I could not bring the paneling down to the walls because the bend was to tight (and panneling so thick)so I used long horizonal strips to cover the edges(front to back).
Everything is okay in the end, if it's not ok, then it's not the end.

My big question is why did you go with the two single doors instead of the rear ramp style door? I know the single door allowed you to build those awesome rear cabinets. But you need to haul a ramp everywhere to load the bike. It's a tough call.....

I'm looking to build something with the bed just like you did, I need to haul a big cruiser bike sometime, and a little dirt bike other times.
