The idea is to take the file to a Kinko's or other shop that has a 30"-wide engineering laser plotter, and you will get a full-size template that you can use to cut the pieces or trace them. It only costs a couple of bucks (well, maybe $5).

Unless you live in the middle of no-where, then, it's print, print, print, tape, tape, tape...

Terry,

Thanks for the information. I just sent you an email.

For the others on the board, Terry sent me all of the information and I have posted all of the pictures and .pdf file on my web site.

http://www.fatfenderedtrucks.com/cabheadliner.html

This should save Terry from having to send out emails.

Thanks again Terry.

Cost quote

I got a quote from a printer today ; plotter copy at 30" x 88" is roughly $ 25.00 I will have it next week. I have more body work to do on cab first but will work at upholstery over winter. I'm making firewall cover, glove box, door panels.

I have the full Adobe suite at work, and will try to cut the pattern so it is 2 @ 30x42, which is a standard E-size sheet. If you tell the printer to split the file in two and print on those size sheets it should only be $3 a sheet, although I have to admit I am going from commercial account pricing. We have several thousand sheets printed monthly.

I can have them printed and mail them to anyone who wants it for cost, just PM me.

Ross;


Thanks for the info; I'll see if the printer can accomodate me to reduce the cost.

Later

Tom,

If you can, shop around. I had some larger drawing printed a few months ago and they were about $5 a piece.

Do you still have this template by chance?
