Re: Curt's '72 K20 Resto-mod

Got the Highliner headliner installed. It fit very well. There are a few threads concerning these. We'll see just how the sound is since the speakers are overhead.

It will give me a place to stash small stuff, too. I never liked always having things just laying on the seat. There's a cover with a compartment that fits in the center, that can also house a stereo.

I used the same SEM Super White paint as the defroster vents. The quality is excellent of their product.

We held it up in place and used it as a template to locate the holes. It isn't heavy, just awkward.
After drilling the holes, I located a spot on the passenger side and drilled a 3/8" hole to run the speaker wires. I didn't want to run them under the lip of the door gaskets.

A thick piece of foam was included which we taped to the top before we installed it.

Thick blocks of foam were included to put behind the the speakers.
The hardest part was locating the visor clips.

I chose to use Alpine speakers, not knowing the quality of the the ones provided. I was hoping that the Alpines would have had grill covers with them, but they didn't. I had to use the ones that came with the Highliner.

I like the look, fit and quality of this. I would recommend one to anybody wanting a different option on speaker locations.
