Is that the same grey stuff you showed me while I was there? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Ned, yes, its the big roll we looked at. The company I worked for just before retirement was basically all automotive fabric. The roll I showed you was the very FIRST roll manufactured for a lot of the OEM like GM, Chrysler, Ferd ect. I see cars with it all the time...and also the headliners we made at C&A. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 | So.. you covered... what?... fibre board or paneling with it?

I cut the panels and then glued the fabric to the boards with the 3M Super77 Spray adhesive.
....now, I had a friend of mine come by Friday evening and look at doing my headliner for me. He does most all for a restoration shop near by, and he about has me convinced to make the sides smooth.....so again, I may change mine. Heck, with the insulation and the panels left in the panel should be quiet as a mouse!!! I'm thinking on what I'm going to do. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 | I have thought about using the foam core art board for mine. It's stiff enough it shouldnt sag and maybe the foam will add a bit more sound deadening.

He said he'd save them for me.
Shoot me a PM and we'll discuss or this will get sent to the Spoon. | | |
