I'm going to post this here because there has been a lot of talk on headliners recently. I am going to use a single piece of formica countertop. It is about 1/16" thick so it is very flexible. I'll update once I find the right material that I'll use to cover it.

Thanks Scott for the picture of the headliner. That seems like a logical solution to the old two part headliner and get rid of the plastic middle strip. What type of material are you going to cover it with? How did you get the exact shape onto the formica - use your old headliners as a pattern?

[ranger429]

Old headliner as a pattern and added a 1 1/2" to make up for the gap in the middle. The countertop guy (my next door neighbor at the shop) was nice enough to use his router and belt sander to dial it in. I'm going to use 1/4-3/8" padding and then the material, probably vinyl. Have to wait till I find it at the store first.

Thanks for the idea Ranger.That shouldn't be a problem for me seeing that my Pop has been building countertops for 37 years.I kinda fault myself for not thinking of that earlier.

[ranger429]

Thanks pvillebo, I just updated my build thread with a test fit. A little trimming and it should work good.

Well heres the latest. I cut 12" out of an 8ft bed. Not the best pic but its to heavy to push in and out of the garage on my own. Bob ill be sending you an email soon about the other frame.
