Took the hood over to the painter today, to have it matched to the red already on the truck. Just one step closer to finishing it all up.

I am having some trouble finding a good way to install the headliner. I don't want to drill holes in the roof, but all adhesive tries, just doesn't work. Plus, with the heat out here, it may not last.

I have used the VHB 3M tape, but maybe I need to used more, all around the perimeter.

How about the industrial velcro its really rugged stuff!

chakah · 08-06-2015, 08:05 AM

I am so jealous Travis. That interior is badass!!!

aggie91 · 08-06-2015, 09:40 AM

How about attaching some rare earth magnets to the back of the headliner?

Like these:
http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/magcraft-nsn0604/

each one as a pull force of 10 lbs for this size, there are others too.

These have 18 lbs of pull force each. Apex Magnets seems to have a better selection..
https://www.apexmagnets.com/1-5-x-1-8-disc

Both diameter and thickness effect the strength of the magnet. They have a 1.25" dia x .25" thick one that has a 30 lb pull force....

I'll look into this, and tried some already. Problem is, the adhesive holding the velcro, is what can't hold.

I think that will work pretty well. I can let the adhesive cure on the headliner before placing up there. This way the weight of the headline is pulling down while the adhesive is setting.... like it did with velcro.

Got some on the way right now.

Made a lot of progress this weekend as I am getting prepared to leave Friday to start heading to the Goodguys show in northern California. Built it to drive, so that is exactly what I am doing. Was able to get the 1-piece windows in, and also start on the bed wood. I counter sunk the bottom side of the boards, so I can keep the bed bolts hidden underneath.

Still have to clear them all for water protection, and should be able to install by Wednesday.

Looks good Travis....Is that black paint or dark stain on the bed boards??? I like it.

He posted a picture on the pervious page. Looks like he is running a Champion radiator, he sells them as well.

I got the gas filler cap placed.

Z10 · 08-12-2015, 11:48 PM

Nice look Travis. I'm about ready to stain my bed and have been staining test boards. What brand color of stain did you use?

It is MinWax, color Ebony, and is a water based stain.... not the gel. Then I did the Minwax wipe-on poly clear in satin finish.

I recently got back from a 2,200 mile round trip to Northern California for the Goodguys show. Drove up to Tahoe and did some scenic routes. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Traveled with my Dad in his '55 Chevy, and a few roadster and 1 coupe.

That is awesome Travis looks like you and your Dad had fun
