    Expovans Transit 4x4 Conversions

    Some of y'all already know this but I'm already deep into the process of designing a 4x4 conversion for the Ford Transits. We custom ordered a short wheelbase, medium roof, Ecoboost wagon back in October '16 and picked it up from the dealer in January of this year. Since then I've put...

    Expovans.com - new venture for mgmetalworks

    After many years of working on these vans, I've become obsessed with this line of work. It's fun, challenging and rewarding to design and build parts for these vehicles and the time has come to step it up a few notches. Enter ExpoVans.com We've been working for months on a new website that...

    MG Metalworks Radius Arm/Coil Spring Axle Conversion for E-series Vans

    As I get nearer to finishing up all the details of my front axle conversion for the E-series, I thought it was about time to start a thread to explain what I've done, what I'll be offering and how (easily) a DIY'er can put a newer Super Duty axle in their ('92-'14) E-series vans. First, a...

    Optima Batteries SEMA 2015 Build

    Look at what arrived at my shop today... This van has done some traveling in its short life. It was most of the way across the country at Ujoint just a few weeks ago, then SMB west now in Oregon before going to SoCal then on to Vegas for SEMA. I spent a couple hours gutting the interior and...

    2005 G500 build by MG Metalworks

    Hello all! My wife decided that I didn't have enough to do building out our family adventure van so we picked up this 2005 G500. Super clean, one owner, 97k miles with all of the dealer service history. The underside is as clean as I've seen on a vehicle of this age and mileage so...

    Slider door hinge extension tutorial

    Edit** I should have mentioned in the title that this is for FORD vans but I missed that before submitting.... I get a lot of inquiries about slider hinges. While I don't mind doing them for folks occasionally, I don't have the time to do these in production like I thought I would. So for...

    CTIS... crazy nonsense or awesome possibility?

    Sometimes a seemingly random thought that pops into my head leads to a moment where I ask myself: "Is this crazy nonsense or an awesome possibility?" . Admittedly most of the ideas that pop into my head (while daydreaming about my van) don't get much farther than my internal reality check of...

    The not-so-definitive guide to Sienna seats

    I'm not claiming to know it all about these seats but I've had a lot of questions about them and most people ask similar questions. I thought I'd throw up a thread to answer some of the most common questions I get and share what I learned from my install and the 6 or so months I've had them in...

    Transformer seating solution

    A while back I was approached by a member of this forum about a unique seating solution for his van. He wanted a bench seat, a bed and to be able to use the space in the van when not using the seat. After a bunch of ideas and 3D renderings back and forth, we decided on this design… This shows...

    '08-current Super Duty truck mirror conversion for E-Series

    I don’t know about you guys but ever since the updated E-Series styling in ’08, I just haven’t felt like the trailer tow mirrors for the van look right. They’re functional and serve their purpose but to keep consistent with the grill/headlights/bumper styling, the mirrors should follow the same...
