Lookin' good so far Rob. Keep up the good work. I have to do that to my Panel Truck this spring. I don't know if I can use them but I have a set of stock Suburban bows and headliner panels.

Re: Home made burb headliner
Like everything on your Burban, it looks great. Did you have a pattern or did you use Port Headlights drawing?

Thanks! I used Portheadlights drawings and he was kind enough to send me the patterns. Just keep in mind every one of these trucks are different and you may have to make adjustments to the patterns and measurements.

Re: Home made burb headliner
Did you mock it up with poster board or something else? Or did you just dive in with the FRP(?) material?

When you get things situated, I'd love a play-by-play on how you get the panels into the bows. Do you bend the headliner and insert that way or what?

I assume you are talking about the metal bows. It's a very tight fit, but if you cut the panels correctly you can make it happen. I think the key is letting the FRP material "relax" to fit the curve of the roof. A heat gun will hurry up this process, just be careful and don't melt the material.....
