How to build a metal high top on a van - DIY

Whether you'd like a walk-in closet for your weekend glamping trips, a dance club on wheels , or getting ready for the apocalypse, a high top van will maximize your space while giving you the ability to stand. I made this high top out of 22 gauge sheet metal and 16 gauge 1" x 1.5" steel tubing in December 2020. It was my first welding job and a damn good one if you ask me, "Welders" feel free to leave my score in the comments below. After driving around an old 95' Dodge Ram 3500 extended van with the top cut off in Los Angeles for a year, it was time. No more beautiful palm trees, getting my stereo stolen, or the occasional fast food drink thrown in by my favorite road rager. This van needs a top, this van needs a top now!
