Headliner
 
Love you how you matched the front angle in the back with the rollbar!

Very "trick"!! Or as the kids say these days... "that's fire!" LOL

One layer of 3/4oz and one of 1 1/2 ounce mat.

Even with a skim coat of filler, the whole headliner shouldn't be very heavy, it's pretty thin - if the filler made it to heavy, I take a splash mold of it and make a new part so there is no filler at all. It'll get covered with suede later.

A layer of primer to insure the shape is uniform. I'll cut it all out this weekend.
Attachment 72105

I oversized the mold in the front here just to help with shaping this area. This will obviously get cut back to fit nicely to the windshield.

I'll put the seam at the top of the A Pillar.

You’re doing an amazing job, that looks great. All of the work you’ve done on this build is top notch. I love coming back for your updates.

I really like this idea. It would allow me to have the cage tucked up closer to the roof and I'd still be able to finish it out and look nice instead of fighting putting a headliner in it. Consider this another stolen idea I'm taking from you lol.

Thanks guys!!
Take it AJ!! but I know you will do something cool to it - looking forward to seeing it! Let me know if you want any more pics. Not sure if headroom is an issue for you but it was for me. Under my headliner is 1/2"DEI insulation and then I used 6 RingBros billet washers/1/4-20 to bolt it down the roof where I had welded threaded bungs. You can't see it in these pics and I masked over them while glass'n but it's all tightened down and in place before I did the mold work for the sides/front and back so that roof piece would be in the exact - up as tight as possible, location.

I'm working to integrate a handle to ease entry/exit over the door bars and also for a hand hold for the passenger, (found a billet one from GZilla - need to machine down the feet so it's up tighter to the A-Pillar). And also going to integrate in an overhead console (sunglasses holder/map light/Homelink) - spent a few hours at the junkyard and found that late model Honda cars have a cool one that fit in the space well - ordered one from a 2020 Pilot. I'll post pics as I get that done.

Gauge pod for my boost gauge and carbon fiber in the center part with the rest wrapped in suede is what I'm thinking so far. I was also thinking I need to build another rotisserie so I can do all this and I need a cage done first lol.
