How to make a hard headliner.......Marty's way!
I've made a few hard headlining's over the years and people ask how it's done. Here's a step by step of the way I do it to make a light weight lining that fits properly and looks like it belongs! A week ago I bought a VC sedan roof turret (a ute roof being to hard to find) to modify to the same size as the ute’s roof to make a plug from which a mould will be made, to make a hard head lining as per late model cars….this is to incorporate a VE Commodore interior light that will run off a Dakota digital controller to give full theatre lighting….i.e. the lights will fade up and down with the door opening, turn on as the ignition is switched off & run for 45 seconds before turning themselves off as most late cars do….this is the progress in the first 7 days!
