Just thinking ahead

Although I am a long way yet to finnishing the interior of my panel, as I'm still working the exterior as well as everything else, but I'm trying to decide how I will finnish the inside, mostly the back portion. I've been thinking of trying to go with smooth side panels and head liner and paint to match the exterior. I know that quite a few of us are in the building stages of our rides but was wondering if any one has some how to's on doing interior work, in particularly the back half of a panel truck. The side panels I don't think I'd have a problem with but the head liner I think is going to be a problem, any suggestions.

Hey man

I work for my dad, and we have an auto upholstery shop in Leitchfield KY, I don't have time right now to advise you(bed time), but if you'll email me directly, at trucks1956@yahoo.com I'll answer any of your questions.I am in the process of building my own 1956 panel truck right now, and I'll give you some ideas on anything you ask.We've done literally hundreds of these things over the years, so ideas are not too hard to come by.I got some really cool ideas for seats and the floor too, if you're interested??

GOD bless
