Re: 51 Chev on a S10 frame, named Dale

OK, time for an update on the Headliner.

I decided to keep the same style as the door panels, (5-6 inch wide grey panels) so purchased a sheet of 1/16 in fiberboard, some more grey vinyl, a couple more yoga mats, and some more contact cement.

I cut out the pattern (2 pieces) of the headliner and added an extra inch on both sides. The panels I made smaller, as the thickness of 2 panels, the foam, and the vinyl would not fit under the edge, so I would only need to put 1 layer of fiberboard under the edge with 1 layer of vinyl....make sense?
With the 2 panels placed beside each other, the seam is hidden.

Also, I added a bent metal panel (with yoga mat and vinyl) at each side as the fiberboard would not bend enough to curve over the doors.

Here are the pics, from design, to final pic with visors.
