installed the headliner "backing plate" today .. and "prepped" for the cab/canopy transition ..
I used the original Trekker "cab rienforcement" roof piece .. as a "transition" for the canopy/cab fabric headliner


.

 

workked a bit on the Trekker today ..

got the "transition" headliner piece , cut and fit ..





glassed it up , and
should be cured for tomorrow ..


.

 

looks great, but i can't help but stare at your steering wheel.
so the glass piece you made off of the 2x4 is a channel of sorts, for the front lip of the top to sit in?

 

yep .. it will "hide" the transition between the cab and topper .. I still have to do the sides down to the tub



.

 

well again , I am waiting for the uhplostery guy to do the headliner .. he was supose to be here the previous week , but did not show up , then he finally showed up last week to take measurements , to order the material ..
so I guess because of the snow storm back east , he didnt get it , and it's supose to be here this comming week .. I hope so ..

so I have just been "tying" up some loose ends ..

got the other canopy strip , stripped and both of them painted







also finished up the tail lamps ..

Ordered new lenses , because the old ones were ... well old and 1 was broken ..



The Mojave Chrome lamps i'm using have the back-up lamp chrome surround and the new lenses just have the black ones .. So I proceeded to drill out the mount stems and remove the black surrounds as well as the chrome ones



removing the chrome ones I noticed there were both marked R .. huh !!



and got the pieces swaped



and tail lamps installed





just got to get the canopy/topper on now !!


.

 

Looking absolutely beautiful there Corey, it makes a big difference just a little bit of chrome here and there, and it always shines a lot brighter when the paint goes on. excelent build.

Amazing work!

 

thanks guys ..


.

 

so good news ...
my headliner material is in .. Talked to my uhplstery guy and It looks like a sunday install

I had to "level" the roof strips and install a couple of "tack strips" .

Because the headliner wont be 1 piece and will have to be sewn ,
We decided to follow the body line , to give it a "subtle" custom look .. also I added a rear dome lamp mount ..





.

 

amazing build i just sat here for the last couple hours reading it with out stopping every one of your post man do my eyes hurt... you have officially inspired me. i work as an apprentice in a body shop and have been to school for body work as well, but my real goal is to one day own my own 4x4 shop and still love my hobbies. you have inspired me to keep at my long term goals. i thank you and commend you for doing this long on going build. like many others i cant wait to see the end of the project.

 

thanks Brutha .. I'm really glad and happy to inspire ..

for me this is a passion .. I absolutly LOVE my job ... I hope you can do the same

.

 

well .. sunday has come and gone ..
another bust on the interior .



started off all well and fine ..

trimmed out the centersection , cut and fit , and Tony took it back to his shop for some sewing ...

well I guess his sewing machine took a turn for the worst , and decided not to work . Broke all of his needles , so I guess he has to order some parts and fix his machine :'( ..

one day I might get this done !!


.

 

well finally got the rear roof headliner in ..





and new dome lamp installed



and set the roof on to "check it out"






.
