Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.
