finished with the interior

The only thing left to do to my interior was to install the headliner. It was so difficult to install during the trial fit before painting I had been putting it off for some time now. Last night I had a spark of energy so gave it a try. Went in a lot easier the second time and the ABS plastic looks much better than the bent and disentagrating cardboard it replaced.

Nice!
Where'd you get it? Preformed, right?
I've been putting off doing mine forever.

Wow - looks great. I would be interested to know where you got it also - I was going to print out the template and make one, but that looks a lot better than the 4-section ones...

Rod Doors in CA. $275 plus shipping. fits well. Pre formed and held in by 4 clips in front that are part of the liner, 2 on the sides and the rear window weather strip in back.

Painted it myself with SEM Color Coat. It's a flexible paint made for plastics. The color is Super White.

Shame their side panels don't come down further. And I wonder if one could glue a felt like material on it for noise absorption?

It comes with side panels, I just chose not to install them. Rod Doors has a short online video showing the install. I used self adhesive aluminum backed foam attached to the roof panel before installing the headliner.

Same one I used and I really like it. It does come with side panels and a lower cab panel is available as well, to cover the area behind the seat. I covered mine with the thinly foam-lined headliner material. It also comes with adhesive/velcro mounting pads to keep the center portion up. I would recommend using those. Don’t line the abs with any insulation as it will add weight and want to droop. Apply any sound deadening directly to the cab roof....
