Well, not really a headliner, I'm putting in a ceiling. A couple of before pictures:
After getting as much glued on fiberglass off as I could I hit it with a coat of heavy flat black enamel paint:
I was going to run a few of these 1x3 strips then attach thin plywood, but my daughter mentioned it looked good with the strips so I decided to go for something I've always wanted to do with my vans. Put in a psuedo Woody roof. Here is where I am so far:
Making a template without a band saw - not recommended! LOL
As of this last weekend, almost ready for varnish:
Not as totally fancy as I'd like since this is building grade Home Depot pine, but good furniture grade lumber ain't cheap. The strips are 8 feet long, and since this is a 108, there is a good bit of roof left at the ends that for now will remain painted metal. I haven't decided whether to leave the ends like that, or make a slightly different wood design, the ends are tricky due to the compound curves. Maybe I'll put up some of the long furry fabric, we'll see how it looks when I'm done with the middle. Maybe an overhead console in the front.
