Re: headliner

That looks great. I want to do something like that in mine. Do you have a write up on how you did that?

Re: headliner

Thanks, I don't have a write up. What I did is hang a cab upside down from the rafters of my shop, and used that as a mold and made a fiberglass shell. Then I had to trim it to fit exactly as I wanted it. Covered it with Ultra leather and made the center insert. My friend did all the upholstery for me. It's actually two pieces. He left the material long, and when we installed it, we cut and glued it to be tight to the edges of the cab. I then installed the weatherstrips, and the glass. The window rubbers,visor screws,rear light, and rearview mirror screws hold it all together.It wasn't easy, but the end result turned out well. I haven't seen another like it yet. If anyone is seriously thinking about doing one like this, PM me and I will give you my number and I will talk you through it.

Re: headliner

If I do that without removing the cab will I risk having oil from the pan run up into my carb?

Just make sure you drain the oil first!
