Poor Everly. She looks like Ralph’s brother on Christmas Story…packed in like a tick. “I CAN’T MOVE MY ARMS!” I give Frankie 2 New Skin thumbs up!

Hahaha Chrispy! Did you see that older brother who thought his swadled sister had no arms?! Too cute!

@raisinbartholamew5864 2 месяца назад

The shell is two pieces upper and lower, the trim just covers up the line where the two pieces join together. Splitting the shell into two pieces makes it possible to lay up the fiberglass molds.

@monicamestas7566 2 месяца назад

Yeah, I think maybe "the look of it." All those Toyota RVs had those, with a plastic trim inserted. There are some Toyota RV/Sunrader groups on Facebook. All the plastic in those strips have pulled away over the years. So now the question is What to put back in that track? Oh, look at you. At 5:45, already got the plastic filler. Good for you! I'm so impressed.

@FnAVanLife 2 месяца назад

Thanks to those facebook groups I knew which one to buy!!! This was such a bigger job than we anticipated and yes they all rotted out over the years!!! Really too bad!

Great sticktuitiveness, Frank! Looks good. I think I would have used some penetrating spray and soaked those screws first and maybe used a little lubricant when getting that trim piece in the channel. Alex, the Bohemian look becomes you!

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

You like your fluids!!! Lol sounds very smart and I wish we would have done the same, might have helped save Frankie's arms from being so wrecked after 😔 thanks for the love and tips!!!

You guys are truely amazing! I hope that you have a great support system around you, cause building a Van with a new born must be sooo exhausting! Sending you all positive vibes! This is a BIG project!

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

Thanks you. We do have people around us that are great but as for people watching the baby that is all us. We are really just non stop and that is why we are start to feel super tired. Also why we are getting a video out every week but they tend to come out on different days. I think we will catch our groove soon. Thanks again for your support.

From your Instagram story, it sounds like you might be at a crossroads. I send positive thoughts and hope that you all will do whatever brings you the most peace 💜

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

Not so much a crossroads but a coming to terms with what being parents really means for us and how we are going to navigate all the things we have going on now with a baby. It's a big adjustment!!

@blessedveteran 8 месяцев назад

@FnAVanLife absolutely it is... you are not alone. We all go through that as first time parents. It changes everything. I am glad you have each other (and Paco) while going through this huge transition. Sending positive (and peaceful) thoughts your way. 💜 If you all need anything, I am just a message away. 🤗

@ryansanyt 8 месяцев назад

for installing the vinyl insert, dont install one edge first and then the other. Take it whole, squeeze it in half hotdog style with you hand and put both ends in at the same time.

@ryansanyt 8 месяцев назад

also, the aluminum trim piece simply covers where the two clamshell halfs meet. I did the same thing as you in that i tried to replace all the rusted screws, but I dont think it was worth the effort. On the inside both the halfs are fiberglassed together (you can see this the easiest when you look at the rear tail lights from the inside - this is why the tips of the screws break off when you try to take them out, because they are fiberglassed in.

@ryansanyt 8 месяцев назад

Also, i know you did the butyl tape on the windows but i advise that you get some captain tolley's creeping crack cure and use it around the glazing bead on the windows on both the outside and inside. The glazing beads tend to leak through...

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

man i which i put up a post to get this advice. This would of saved my forearms this week.
