That's beautiful workmanship. I notice some fabric in one of the photos, is that what you're going to back it with?

Me too…I need something in the “Win” column! The stain color (not shown, yet) is being applied to the finished pieces right now…and it really brings out the beauty of the hickory (a really hard and stable wood)!

Bob definitely knows his way around wood…and just about every other type of construction! Yes…the palm tree fabric will be stretched across the hidden side of the individual panels and visible through each of the “black” voids.

Thanks, Bryce…the headliner has been on the back burner for a while now, but it’s starting to come together!

Thanks, CG…I’m really trying to get this finished up, but there are a lot of components to the job…and Bob does things the right way even when it takes longer (which I’m happy about!).

Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.

Here’s a couple pictures of the fabric loosely laid over the top of the front panel…not stretched tight or fastened yet. Also a glimpse of the stain color, however, it hasn’t been clear coated yet because I’m still deciding between satin or semi-gloss?

Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.

Thanks Leon and Dale…the long side-rails (3” wide with compound angles ripped the entire length) are being worked on right now, then on to the front cap!

Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.

Sorry for the “Slow Tease” but my woodworking friend had some work of his own to take care of, plus, a couple of his key pieces of equipment needed unexpected repairs…and as he uses the really good vintage type stuff, it was hard to find parts! Things should start up again on Monday (hopefully!).

In the meanwhile, I have been dialing in the A/C cover wood panels…and I think it came out pretty good! I can’t attach the fabric yet, as we will have to do all the panels at the same time to get proper alignment of the palm tree design, but other than that, it’s done! I installed “Rivnuts” for all my attachment points, which allows for easy installation and removal of the individual panels. The A/C cover section has the two “mirror image” sides plus the full width cap…all held firmly in place with just three stainless steel machine screws with beauty washers, which gives a nod to to original headliner.

I do have plans to “clean-up” the plastic A/C cover…but haven’t decided if it will just get painted or dipped with an “appropriate” beach-themed pattern? I’m also planning to make wooden slat type vent covers to replace the plastic ones that disintegrated long ago! Ideas just keep popping into my head!

Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.

Here’s my start for the A/C cover vents…not sure where I’m going from here, but at least I have a base to work off of!
