Re: 46 Custom truck interiors

Actually I ordered an ABS headliner from one company (other than Classic Car Parts) and it did not fit. It was not the suppliers fault. The fault lies with the company who manufactured the part. I even called them and they were unwilling to take the part back even though they made it. Their reason was that I had bought it from someone else. The people they sold it to. Rod Doors in CA has the only parts for my '53 Chevy truck that will fit correctly (headliner, door panels and behind the seat panel). I am going to let my upholstery guy tell me what he is going to use and work it out with him. A lot of those guys use Luan plywood as well. I may end up getting a 4' x 8' piece of ABS for the rear (behind the seat) panel and use a one foot diameter round roll to form the curve using a heat gun. That is the beauty of ABS in that you can heat it up and form it. When it cools it stays in that shape.
