headliner ideas?

since I chopped the top , an original size won't work, so I was thinking about laying fiberlass on the top of the roof to get the shape and then trimming a bit out of the middle and reglass to fit. the build it up and cover with fabric or leather..

it would be great if I could get the cab upside down, then I could just lay it to form..

any better ideas?

Re: headliner ideas?

I dont know about glassing it upside down, but I have a similar related question..
does anyone make an ABS or other plastic headliner for these trucks?
nice thing about the plastic ones is you can cover them outside the vehicle, then just put it up.
