Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Headliner turned out great! I'm almost to the point I need to get on this in my Sub. Did you need to use a heat gun, or something, to get the plastic to stay curved at the sides?
And was there a certain order putting them in that made things easier? One more! - looking at the plastic now, how would you rate the "look" of it? |

I will try to remember on Monday to check and see if it is possible.

I do too, but with everything lately seeming to take twice as long, no guarantees.... Quote:
Quote:
I installed them in this order, rear panel, front panel and then the two smaller panels (your choice on which one first). The front panel was the hardest and you really need help to work it in because of the compound curve in each corner. You really need help on this one because you will be "slapping" the panel forward and you need someone to help guide it into the 1/2" metal channel that the edges of each roof board goes in. That's why I did the rear panel first as it easier to install. You have to "slap" it to get it to move also, but not having the curve makes it little easier and it gives you some practice at it. So the way I began installing each panel was to put one side into the 1/2" channel (L or R, doesn't matter). Then, I would let it sag in the middle, which allowed me to put the other side in the channel. The FRP is flexible enough to do this, just be careful. Once both side are seated in the channel, then you can push up on the middle until it fits the contour of the roof. If your panel is trimmed correctly, the tension created by the bow of the roof should hold it up and there should be no ripples in it. I cut my panels a little wide (1/8") to make sure I had plenty of material. Plus, it's always easier to cut more off than to add it back, . It took me several removal/installations and trimmings to get each panel to fit the way I wanted them to. Once you are happy with the fit, then you can start "slapping" it to slide it in the rear groove (front and back panel only). Be careful, because if you slap to hard, you can actually crack the FRP, which is a $35 mistake (don't ask how I know...). You can then fit the two center panels such that when you push up in the middle they are in place. Bottom line, if you take your time (I played around with mine for a week or two), you can get a really nice finished product. Maybe not factory, but pretty close AND I think it will last longer as these panels are waterproof and should not warp. One more tip, If you take a marker and color the brackets where the screws go to hold the center of each panel up, you can gently rub the panel after you have fitted it in order to mark where your screw hole should go. Also, if you don't have your original headliner boards to use for templates, there are some good diagrams and info in this thread that will get you started: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...install&page=2

Rob,
Thanks for the great write-up, Man! I copied and pasted that into my headliner file so I can study it later. Looking forward to any thing else you might you remember! |

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Thanks!

On a side note, since I changed the door panels to 72, I had to change all the door mechanisms to the longer 72 pivot arm. This was fairly simple everywhere expect for the rear door window regulators. You can't purchase them aftermarket as no one makes them, and I gave up finding a good set of used ones. I happened to have a good set of 72 front door regulators, so I disassembled them and removed the longer 72 pivot arm. I then disassembled my original 67-71 rear door regulators, regreased everything and swapped out the pivot arm and put everything back together. Waaalaaahhh, it worked like a charm! As soon as I get my new window seals and door felt in, I'll be able to wrap up the rear window install, .

[QUOTE=Hart_Rod;7923426
No problem. Are you using Portheadlights diagrams? [/QUOTE] I do have those handwritten diagrams with measurements, but I was able to recently pick up a set of complete original headliners that I'm planning to use as templates. They are not quite good enough to salvage and use, but complete enough to use as templates. How are you liking the "look" of the plastic you used? I haven't settled 100% on a material yet, but that plastic looks pretty good, at least in pictures. |

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
I looked into getting into the header void (?) to no avail. Using a piece of 14 guage soild conductor wire I could get from the bolt out, but not into the void, and I couldn't get from the void through the hinge bolt holes or the hinge cutouts. The green arrow shows where I got through and the red ones where I couldn't.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Sorry for not being clear. Turning the photo may help. I put the test wire into the bolt hole and got it to come out under the headliner. (Next to those stupid crimp clamp connectors the PO used for trailer lights). That would be the green arrow.
I thought you wanted to get past the weld seam into the void area where the hinge bolts on. That is what all the red arrows were about.

Thanks Bill would have been nice to see you again, hopefully I can make it over for CTC this fall. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks Keith! I almost didn't go as the Suburban is not totally finished and I hate showing it like that. But at some point, you get tired of working on them and just want to drive them, . It drove really well and everything worked as it should. I'm still working on the tune, but the drivability was good and I got around 15 mpg running around 75. I think that will go up as we have the tune somewhat rich. Other than that, I'm still working on the interior. My door panels are repainted and I received the restored Cheyenne door trim from CSM. I think it came our really well, . Will get everything put on in the next couple of weeks as I wrap up the interior.
