The 2 rear ones are original. The front ones are factory Buddy Buckets from 67-68.

where did you get the fiberglass panels and are they paintable do they have a gel coat i have the factory head liner but the rear is cracked and the bows are cherry so i have the old boards for templets ?????

[zeusflash]

I got my fiberglass panels at Lowes. The panels are textured on one side and the side that is supposed to be installed against the wall is smooth. I installed the panels with the smooth side showing. The material does have a gel coat type of coating and I think they could be easily painted,if fact,that was the plan for mine but the wife liked them unpainted. The material is not cheap and the Suburban roof is wider than four feet so the panels must be installed sideways. I belive it took 3 or 4 pieces.

i know what your talking about know i've seen them what did they run a piece

[bad_turbo]

that looks great!!

[zeusflash]

If I remember correctly they were about $35.00 per sheet and I must have done mine with three sheets because the total was around $100.00.

I'm about to start taking my roof interior out. Looking for tips & tricks or even a photo on the best way of taking the bows off in one piece. searched the forum to no avail. (probably missed something)
thx in advance.

I have never heard of anyone having good luck with this... good luck to you man.

[mike409]

you really do not have to take bows out ifyou get one panel out you should be ok
but if you must they are very bridal if you warm them up with a heat gun they should not break but wait to get some more input some one may have a cool trick all mine came off fine it was getting them back on there a *****!!!!!!
email zeusflash he has it down to a tee

[zeusflash]

I agree with Mike409,getting them off did not pose a problem but you do have to be EXTREMELY careful...they are quite brittle. The metal covers on the ends are kind of a pain too,,,again be patient. By far the toughest part is getting them back on. I filed the groove in the back side of the bow open a little bit which made them snap on without so much force needed. I have not had any problems with them coming off after filing. I hope it works out as easily the second time since I have to remove my headliner again to install a rear air unit and the related wiring which runs overhead.

[mike409]

WOW I BET THAT MAKES YOU SICK zeusflash THATS NOT FUN TAKING THAT THING BACK APART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zeusflash]

You have no idea!!! We are installing front and rear air so we will be gutting the dash,removing the grill,front bumper,right front fender and removing most of the left side inside trim to run those super long A/C hoses to the rear unit. Cutting the vent holes in the freshly painted dash should also be fun. We are expecting a new baby in January and the wife says the baby will need A/C next summer. Wish me luck........please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im not having any luck finding a rear ac so Im going to try to do the vintage air and hope it keeps it all cool.

[mike409]
