Ahhhh, the joys of teaching our young ones (but not so young anymore) to drive. I've taught my 3 daughters and my son will start next year. Drew, your truck has been a joy to follow. The headliner installer pick a nice job to finish his career on.

Enjoy the summer!

I would have been nervous too if I had no idea how fast I was going in that beast, especially my first time out driving

I was coaching her on her speed so she wouldn't have to look over to the glove box side.

drewskiren · 05-10-2012, 10:30 PM

Oh man, he's rolling now!

Its a combination of bow type headliner and custom made hardboard pieces to cover up lots of the raw metal in these trucks. He also completely solved my roof support beam!

Sorry for the crummy cell phone pics.

drewskiren · 05-10-2012, 10:36 PM

Two more pics. See how my glovebox dash is looking?!

**67cheby** · 05-10-2012, 10:40 PM

Great job!

Can't wait to see it complete! Looking AWESOME!!!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-10-2012, 10:58 PM

Looking great! That's a good headliner man for sure!

**oldman3** · 05-11-2012, 12:15 AM

He's doing a great job, really like the look of the material.....Jim

coggonobrien · 05-11-2012, 12:17 AM

looking back on your cab fabrication is there anything significantly differant you would of done? I'm still trying to decide on my 68 k20 whether to stick to swb standard cab or build the crew cab as you did.

I wouldn't change a thing. Take the time to fit the doors before you paint to verify you like all the body lines. My rear door never fit well from the factory and I could have corrected 40 year old problems, but I didn't.

drewskiren · 05-11-2012, 06:36 PM

Yippee!!!

I just got Frankie back and man is this headliner sweet!! He ended up making all sorts of parts to cover A, B, and C pillars plus he rebuilt my spare sunvisors and covered them. I kept the black ones since they were so perfect.

It really is stunning, and the best part....... $450 bucks! I tipped him another $50, just because.

**67cheby** · 05-11-2012, 06:38 PM

Nice work

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-11-2012, 07:10 PM

Great deal! That turned out super!

1985-GMC · 05-11-2012, 08:09 PM

Man he really did a good job!

Coboyle04 · 05-11-2012, 08:51 PM

simply amazing

Gokart Mozart · 05-11-2012, 10:51 PM

That checklist is getting smaller and smaller!

**oldman3** · 05-11-2012, 11:22 PM

Love the way it turned out, great job....Jim

68 TT · 05-11-2012, 11:28 PM

Very nice. He did great work for you in a pretty short amount of time.

Every interior shop I have ever dealt with has measured project timelines in months not days or weeks. Good job finding somebody who does nice work fairly quickly.

TennesseeZ · 05-12-2012, 01:01 AM

That looks great Drew, Frankie is almost done, no?

I'm totally impressed with your work on this project, can't wait to see it in person!

Joy is right, and all mine will drive a stick shift at least a year so they'll have that forever.

Very short considering he is sick.

Yeah, I'm sick though that by the time I have another car for him he'll be retired.

Come to the Power Tour - St. Louis to Arlington Texas is where I'll run.

ERASER5 · 05-12-2012, 09:36 PM

Good luck keep it away from you daughter. The pics say "One day this will all be mine!"

My daughter is pointing out the things she wants to take in the future. She's getting some "Uh, no. that's mine." answers. I get the "look." She may win after all.

I wish I could, but if it's not job related, I'm staying close to the house these days, I guess I'll just have to wait till you head east with it...........

If you need anything in St Louis I would be more than happy to help. I work for the city and know almost every square inch of it if you need help getting anywhere. Brandon@PfeiffersLandscaping.com

Your truck keeps me looking for the perfect one to buy and fix up. Frankenstein is turning out perfect. Great work Thanks for the ministry that you do also.
