1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)

Looks great! That's a serious ton of fatmat. Should be nice and quiet.

Thanks Bro! I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.....

[Hart_Rod]

I'm trying to decide if my headliner should be white or black? Thoughts? Keep in mind, black carpet, black door panels with wood grain...

[04ls1gto]

The white looks clean

[boostedc10]

I second the white.

[VA72C10]

The black would make it pretty dark in the interior.... I like the white

[Palf70Step]

I am for the black, mostly because anything white on an interrior for me ends up black not to long after the install.

[AnotherWs6]

I would have gone white with everything, but DEFINITELY would keep the headliner white. Would look like a coffin in there with your bright, jazzy paint job outside. Doesn't make sense. Keep it bright with contrast.

The white looks good but the black will look a lot more finished with everything else.
The white will clash with the seat inserts being that it appears much brighter than them.
So I will vote for black.

This is exactly what I see being the problem, other than black I think will make the interior too dark. Is there a way that you can make some design using both colors?

[knomadd]

I say white. It looks clean, brightens it up, ties in with the white in the hounds-tooth pattern and the white on the exterior. Just don't touch it! Black would work, but I tend to agree with the others, it might be too dark inside. Either way, I think it will turn out nice.

[72MARIO]

I like the white in my suburban. I wouldn't change it to black. The white keeps it bright at night.

[3drburb]

I guess I will be the Lone Ranger on this one without Tonto.
Quick points on the black.
So I am guessing this will be more of a show truck than driver as far as darkness goes and that what interior lights is for, on top of the fact that these Burbs are glass houses on the road so the black would be better especially with the other bright and funny looking blue headlights from other cars shining in there if you do drive at night.
As far as coffin feeling the red window post pretty much break up the black, now if the headliner was to match the seat inserts then yes that white.
This ride has a lot of white already and although it will look good white, I don't think the white would look uniform and finished off as the black.

Man you probably shouldn't have asked us, this is a tough one and honestly anyway you go on this it would be nice.

I appreciate everyone's input! Here's what I decided to do. I'm going to go with white and if it ends up being to bright I will try to figure out a way to paint it black or cover it. I looked at Lowes for the FRP and I found 2 different colors of white. One was a really bright white and shiny and the other one was kinda an egg-shell color and satin. I'm going to use the egg-shell/satin one. I think it looks pretty close to the stock color of the factory headliner (could be wrong ) I've attached pictures of both, but I don't know if you will be able to tell the difference (first one is satin, second one is shiny). Also, I finished all of my FatMat so I threw the carpet in just to see how everything looks.

[Hart_Rod]

Here's a couple more carpet pictures.

Carpet looks great Rob. What color gray is that? Also what finish carpet did you go with?

Charcoal black, Essex die cut.

Rob,

I think you made a good choice on the headliner, I was thinking of the same for mine. You should be feeling good as you get that much closer to a finished product!

Thanks! I got the rear panel done yesterday. I'm debating on whether or not I want to combine the 2 small center panels into one. In theory, it seems like it would make the installation easier. Here's a couple of crappy pictures. Will try to take some better ones today or tomorrow. Here's the threads I have been using to help with the headliner build and installation:

Also, a big thanks to boardmember Portheadlight for sending me templates for he front and rear headliner panels.
