What is best for the backer board for doing the rear walls and roof? Also if have done what did you use for upholstery?Lokking at about half a dozen types. Already have boith lined with reflective insulation.

I have wiring and provisions for running more if needed. Have speakers and lighting. Also have an amp box installed. Just need to put up the backer and decide on the exact material. I know colors or think I do.LOL

Tips and hints are welcomed.

I bought 1/4" Luan plywood for the sides of my '67 Panel truck. I haven't installed it yet. I used 1 1/2" pink foam board for insulation on the sides and 3/4 white foam for the roof. The roof panels didn't stay up very good.

Here are a couple of threads on the subject.

There should be some more on here too.
