Roddoors is back in business but I think it's someone who bought the rights....I actually read about that on here...

can't find the link right now but I did look it up before and they had many of the same products available...

drewskiren · 03-31-2011, 07:53 PM

Taking the plunge on the headliner. I went and bought some fleece, resin, Fiberglass mat and Woven Roving (heavy cloth). I'll need to dive in before I paint my roof in case I have any screw ups - probably next week sometime. Tonight I am going to try and mount the HVAC under the dash for the last time.

You may have to make a frame out something like 3/16 rod so that you can bend it to tha shape of the roof & do tha fabric and fiberglass cloth outside tha truck.

I am laying 4 or more layers of .7 mil plastic on the roof, laying the fleece on that, pouring resin out over the fleece and using a roller to spread it out. Once it hardens, see how it fits inside. I am planning on covering the A,B, and C pillars with upholstery like the headliner to make the cab super quiet. I think I will cover them first and then attach the headliner for a neat seam around the perimeter.

mjensen · 03-31-2011, 11:22 PM

As if I didn't have enough reasons to check this thread out! Now I'm gonna have to see how the headliner turns out

Seriously though, the project is looking great.

This actually a good idea! So the original burb Headliner had a sort of "c" channel it sat in, right? Well, (since you are already painted welding is out of the question) I think that hardware stores have a screw-in-type C-channel that is used to hold vinyl panels in place on walls and ceilings... what about getting some in chrome and you should be able to screw it in place where you want it all the way around the perimeter.

You then take said 3/16 rod and bend "roof bows the way you want, and a perimeter ring. Weld them to create a headliner frame. Now you take your fabric and lay it OVER the bows and UNDER the frame. pinch the fabric together and sew it on the inside (the side you would see). Then fold it around the frame and sew that. I think this will give you a stitched seam that will look good. Then your headliner should literally snap in place...

I may just be crazy, it HAS been a long day.

Firewall has a few more items now.

drewskiren · 04-01-2011, 12:57 AM

And here is the reason.

A/C completely bolted in with wiring attached. A side note; I forgot that I had cut the bottom edge of the dash about 2 feet wide under the radio area. I sectioned this area about 1 inch to clear the depth of the new unit. I still need to make a plenum and route my 4 air ducts (new ducts on order). I don't know that I would recommend this mod. for everyone because I am losing my radio slot and I have to use a modern controller. I am planning on putting the controls a little out of normal view, so as to not ruin the old school effect with late model Chevrolet parts. That being said, it should cool the truck very effectively. I put a 3 inch wide piece of tape to simulate my lower dash valence panel. I will also have to relocate my old keyswitch into this new panel that runs the width of the dash.

VA72C10 · 04-01-2011, 07:39 AM

Nice progress!!!

drewskiren · 04-01-2011, 09:09 AM

Garage caught fire last night, I must have left the space heater on. Truck is ruined - I can't even think about it.

I'll be back though, maybe I can salvage something.

**67cheby** · 04-01-2011, 09:15 AM

ha ha....happy April 1st to you my friend

You had me going for a second there......bam

thor · 04-01-2011, 09:59 AM

Nice try Drew!

drewskiren · 04-02-2011, 08:41 PM

Saturday night picture time.

John, my ringer, stayed all day to help me out. He is doing such a good job - much better than I ever could!

I couldn't resist. All is well.

drewskiren · 04-01-2011, 11:09 AM

Here are some close up shots of what it takes to do this. I had to cut up the cowl area that water would flow out to make room for the fresh air intake. As I understand it, aftermarket kits don't have any fresh air capability which makes it harder to defrost/fog.

70truckguy · 04-01-2011, 10:28 AM

Good one!

VA72C10 · 04-01-2011, 01:08 PM

Funny man...I thought about getting someone to photoshop my truck pink with some spinners and posting it....but I'm not far enough along yet to make that trick anyone

*87 chevy silverado* · 04-01-2011, 01:27 PM

looking good

JasonBird · 04-01-2011, 07:14 PM

can't wait to see the headliner. i wish i was a little closer, possibly i could be some help. i work at a company that does aircraft interiors, and i've built a few curved headliners. Like 122" long and shaped like a football. LOL

Pop's C-10 · 04-01-2011, 09:57 PM

I can't wait to see how tha ac comes together.

drewskiren · 04-02-2011, 12:04 AM

It's coming, it's coming.

Tonight I quickly made a sheet-metal plenum that I will cut holes in and feed my supply tubes into. I welded it together and seam sealed the corners. The plenum sits on top of the new unit. I wish I could get a picture of the super tight bundle of snakes. You just have to be here to see.

drewskiren · 04-02-2011, 12:05 PM

My new best friend John came back today to try and finish up some body work.
Alfredo my house painter is interested in learning, so he was hanging out too.

mcbassin · 04-02-2011, 09:07 PM

Your body work looks great! thanks for sharing the pics. Daily fix......fixed.
