I'd like to see what you guys have for headliners. Stock ones are cool but I'm also looking for ones that have been upholstered.

Hey dubie, here's a thread that I had started on the topic of headliners

Bob it was done by glueing a hard foam to the roof the then sanding it around the edges to make it flow without any bumps.. once it was smooth he glued one piece head liner to the foam and tucked it under the rubber that holds the windows in to give it the finished look... in a nut shell that's how it's done.. if you need anymore info let me know and i'll do what i can to help you...

This is a very big help to me. With the cab on the rotisserie, I was planning to fab a fiberglass headliner and upper back panel, then cover it, but this will be cleaner, easier and probably cheaper. To be sure I'm on the right track:

1) Is this "hard foam" "1/8-inch PVC foam board"?
2) Is the board formed with heat as one piece, or is it pieced together?

Thanks Again,

One thing nice about headliners, they can be changed out any time. They're a little taxing to install, but later on if I should decide to do something better, I can, but probably just keep as is.

. But there sure are some creative folks out there!!

Any guesses on what the chrome trim is on the turquoise one?? I can envision the profile, just wondering if anyone knows where to start looking for it???

Never mind, I found some door edge trim that will work.

Parkwood, I missed the "Thank You" on this one. Great job with the pix, and with Shawn's install!! I'm not sure of the details yet but I'm going to try something like this. It'll show up in my build thread somewhere down the line.

Mac the Yankee · 02-04-2014, 04:08 PM

Dubie, why not pick up another blanket to use for a headliner?

Speedbumpauto · 02-04-2014, 04:45 PM

Mine.
