Looks great, really cleans up the interior. What did you use for dividing the sheets?

Man that looks clean, what did you use for insulation? Have you driven it yet and did you notice a difference in road noise?

Thank you. I used 1/2 inch foamboard insulation from Lowes. I scored the board up in the radius of the roof then put a strip of gorilla tape opposite of the score to keep it together. Havent driven it yet to see if it made a difference in road noise. The original insulation was styrofoam with a cardboard backing but above the drivers area there was some kind of vinyl gluded to the roof. I thought that was kind of odd, but I insulated that area with the foamboard as well

Finished up the AC in the Suburban today. Now both front and rear units are working and was 51 degrees at the vents.

Well, a few days after my last post the wife and I decided to go for a ride and test out the AC. It lasted 8 miles and POW !!!! #6 line going to rear unit let go right after the tee fitting. So I ordered all new line and beadlock fittings and made new lines for the entire system. Cant complain though, all of the lines are original but at least I know that both units work and this summer I can ride with the windows up.
