SWEET looking good

propanemudtruck · 03-28-2011, 12:00 PM

Id feel sorry for the pros in your area if you put down the 2x4s for the daily job...

gopokes · 03-28-2011, 12:58 PM

Man, this is my favorite build on the site! You are doing an awesome job, and coming along very quickly. Your AC looks awesome and really makes me think I might go that direction. I don't have the cash for one of the aftermarket systems right now, and am going to put my radio in a center console down the road. I know you had the whole donor truck, but what do you think the cost would be for an AC system like that from a salvage? AWESOME BUILD!

thor · 03-28-2011, 02:28 PM

You got a lot done this weekend. Very nice work!

Maybe $200 to $350 for everything.

Thanks for loving my build.

Hey Chuck,
Thanks for checking in, I'm trying to get this monster on road by summer. I would love for you to come by if you are ever in town again.

I sure will. I need to go through your thread and get product names etc. I haven't done paint in a while.

Pop's C-10 · 03-29-2011, 09:01 PM

Bondo dust..that's something i'm not looking forward to this summer...lol

drewskiren · 03-30-2011, 11:40 PM

I'm still stuck with how to do a custom headliner, any suggestions?

Drew,
Have you checked with any interior upholstery shops? Maybe you can do one of those old school hog ring mounted headliners like the 60's and early 70's cars had?

I'd say the simplest ad most cost effective solution would be to get some material either ABS or the upholstry backer material, have someone cover it in material to match the seats and/or door panels, and then simply glue it on or use industrial strength velcro to attach it.

Can use foam under the headliner to make a pattern if wanted

jbclassix · 03-31-2011, 12:11 AM

Something like this might be easy to install

Now I just need a you tube how to video.

extd56 · 03-30-2011, 11:52 PM

I had mine done at a upholstery shop that does custom work, turned out great

hgs_notes · 03-31-2011, 01:57 PM

3M spray adhesive works for holding fabric on those concave areas rather than just pulling it tight. This is used for door panels, and headliners all the time.

bundeber · 03-31-2011, 03:16 PM

HGS_NOTES

Yeah it does hold well, but we're just talking about building on some plastic sheeting that's draped over the truck roof, gluing it down would require some stretching and then it would pull the plastic back up, unless you secured the plastic somehow. Basically it will probably form some wrinkles, but that should be pretty minimum in order to get the initial curves needed to make the custom headliner...

Drewskiren

My pleasure helpin out. I've been mulling over one of these projects for some time now. And when I stumbled on your thread It was perfect timing. I'm just finishing up a 68 camaro restoration, looking to sell it and move back to my 68 pickup. The wife and I would like to have another kid, and that means a truck has to be large enough for the whole family, which really makes this build idea a winner. I just hope the Camaro Resto hasn't scared her too much!

**Hart_Rod** · 03-31-2011, 03:26 PM

Give these guys a call, I be they could help you out with the headliner...
