Thanks for the encouraging words, HO455 and Joe! I had to do most of the final work on my own as my buddy got inundated with real work for real customers (the kind that pay the bills!). It was a confidence boost for me when I was able to stretch and fasten the fabric to all the panels by myself...and didn't miss the mark with even one staple!

I do want to thank member djolley for sharing his woody style headliner with all of us, as it was his design that got me going in this direction! You are appreciated very much, djolley!

I like it! I can tell that it is really hard to get good pictures of it though....

That headliner is rad! Looks amazing

Wow!!!

Beautiful! Good job!

It's a really great feeling to do something that others appreciate...Thank You pwdcougar; Leon; Bryce; Darrell and CG!

Yes, Leon...picture taking in a Suburban is difficult sometimes, but it was a super bright time of the day, so maybe I'll be able to get better ones?

Bryce...my hatch is still in metal fab, so the glass you gave me is safely stowed away under my bed! Maybe someday, I'll be able to show you my efforts in person as you are the closest member I know of?

That sounds good to me. I would definitely love to check out your handiwork in person.

Thanks Nick...I'm happy with the results! I'm still in a quandary
over my Pro Flo 4 EFI...it might not be a good match for me? Still...I haven't tossed in the towel, yet!

My project is way way way behind schedule, but I'm hoping that there will be an acceleration of progress over the next several months and summer. We had to stop assembling the engine because Howards sent me the wrong camshaft. To their credit they reground a new cam and have sent it to me. It's in the pipeline for installation in early April. Eventually, I'll report on the Pro Flo 4 installation. I recall that you had an issue with fuel delivery having retained the original tank which resulted in a modification? Please keep us posted. I look forward to sharing more updates in the future. Cheers, Nick
