Installing a Maxxair Fan on My Ford Transit - Scary but DIY Doable

I was on the verge of hiring an upfitting company do the maxxair fan install for me...then one day I just got tired of hiding from the scary parts of the van build and went out with a jigsaw and started cutting...that's actually pretty much exactly how it went!

I know this seems scary. But if you are out there and trying to build a van yourself with little to no experience, you can do this! Just be patient, careful, and confident!
