I'm thinking Charcoal Grey, or Old Stone Grey wood to match my interior.

No I've never seen it in an Astro, but I have often thought of how cool it would look!

yes I know, I'm trying to build a custom work van on a budget. So my brain is all over the place..Most of the things I want to do myself. I've viewed close to a thousand photos looking for unique things to do with my Astro.. and by golly I think this is one of them! :-$

That would look great.

I get reclaimed hardwood gymnasium flooring from our local ReStore. I've built a work bench out of it and am planning on builiding a project table that sits freestanding over my foosball table on castors, then simply rolls away to reveile the foosball table when its tournament time.

I've thought of the gym flooring in the Astro but I'm concerned about the added weight and frankly, I've got other things more pressing to worry about...like my next enduro ride.
