F1 headliner question
Anybody make up a headliner? I would run mine without one but with the heat IM wanting to put some bubble wrap/foil insulation up there. Even if its a modified design I would like to see what others have done.
IM also wanting to come up with a way to insulate the cab. All IM planning on having in there is a throw mat I made that is one piece and covers both sides.
I had a car with no insulation and no carpet and ran a 351 Cleveland with duals and my god it would get so hot on a trip the black spray on coating on the floor would get squishy haha.
Now IM older and dont want to be soaking wet every time I drive it without putting in AC.
I might way downt he road but cant afford AC now.

I'm think I'm going to use the one piece unit from rod doors.com. The unit looks pretty slick, it can be covered or painted. I think it's about $200, I figure the time savings are worth it.

Ditto on that, I was looking at the Rod Doors Fiberglass Headliner, and Door Panels, also. The price seems reasonable, I think I'm going to order a set in the next couple weeks myself.

I attempted to find a picture of the rod doors products for my 49 on their website without luck. Where did you see it? Has anyone installed one in a 48-52 and have pix?
