Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Rob!
It's looking absolutely fantastic! Your's was one of the Projects I read over and over again when I was contemplating my Young Frankenstein Crew Cab build, I kept thinking - ok all these guys are just tearing into these truck and doing custom sheet metal work and EVERYTHING else - I can do this. Congrats on seeing it through. I know how life can get in the way - didn't let it happen on Young Frankie, but it is definitely happening on my 57 Buick Roadmaster project right now. Anyway, just wanted to say how awesome it is looking. I'm also curious, what would you have done differently? Drew Renshaw

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
This looks great. Congratulations on getting it back on the road.
I would bet this build has inspired a lot of other builds trucks and Burbs. You are going to need another project once this one is done. Lol |

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Headliner turned out great! I'm almost to the point I need to get on this in my Sub. Did you need to use a heat gun, or something, to get the plastic to stay curved at the sides?
And was there a certain order putting them in that made things easier? One more! - looking at the plastic now, how would you rate the "look" of it? |

I do too, but with everything lately seeming to take twice as long, no guarantees... ![]() Quote:
![]() Quote:
![]() I installed them in this order, rear panel, front panel and then the two smaller panels (your choice on which one first). The front panel was the hardest and you really need help to work it in because of the compound curve in each corner. You really need help on this one because you will be "slapping" the panel forward and you need someone to help guide it into the 1/2" metal channel that the edges of each roof board goes in. That's why I did the rear panel first as it easier to install. You have to "slap" it to get it to move also, but not having the curve makes it little easier and it gives you some practice at it. So the way I began installing each panel was to put one side into the 1/2" channel (L or R, doesn't matter). Then, I would let it sag in the middle, which allowed me to put the other side in the channel. The FRP is flexible enough to do this, just be careful. Once both side are seated in the channel, then you can push up on the middle until it fits the contour of the roof. If your panel is trimmed correctly, the tension created by the bow of the roof should hold it up and there should be no ripples in it. I cut my panels a little wide (1/8") to make sure I had plenty of material. Plus, it's always easier to cut more off than to add it back, ![]() ![]() Bottom line, if you take your time (I played around with mine for a week or two), you can get a really nice finished product. Maybe not factory, but pretty close AND I think it will last longer as these panels are waterproof and should not warp. One more tip, If you take a marker and color the brackets where the screws go to hold the center of each panel up, you can gently rub the panel after you have fitted it in order to mark where your screw hole should go. Also, if you don't have your original headliner boards to use for templates, there are some good diagrams and info in this thread that will get you started: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...install&page=2

Rob,
Thanks for the great write-up, Man! I copied and pasted that into my headliner file so I can study it later. Looking forward to any thing else you might you remember! |

Thanks!

On a side note, since I changed the door panels to 72, I had to change all the door mechanisms to the longer 72 pivot arm. This was fairly simple everywhere expect for the rear door window regulators. You can't purchase them aftermarket as no one makes them, and I gave up finding a good set of used ones. I happened to have a good set of 72 front door regulators, so I disassembled them and removed the longer 72 pivot arm. I then disassembled my original 67-71 rear door regulators, regreased everything and swapped out the pivot arm and put everything back together. Waaalaaahhh, it worked like a charm! As soon as I get my new window seals and door felt in, I'll be able to wrap up the rear window install, ![]()

[QUOTE=Hart_Rod;7923426
No problem. Are you using Portheadlights diagrams? [/QUOTE] I do have those handwritten diagrams with measurements, but I was able to recently pick up a set of complete original headliners that I'm planning to use as templates. They are not quite good enough to salvage and use, but complete enough to use as templates. How are you liking the "look" of the plastic you used? I haven't settled 100% on a material yet, but that plastic looks pretty good, at least in pictures. |

Thought I'd share a pic of Rob's burb from the Battle in Bama show today. I believe it was its maiden voyage. See you in July at the Southeastern ALL Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals, Rob
