I searched everywhere, and im getting obsessed with this fiberglass stuff.. i was going to glass over the old one then bondo then have it painted pearl white....

I havent seen 1 t top glassed headliner whats up with that.. everyone wants to buy one fiberglassed why not make one??

cause im going to.. just want to see someone elses

 

If you want to see one your gonna have to make one. I have never seen one on here and have looked and looked aswell.

 

damn alright... well i guess that'll have to wait cause i have other projects before i can jump to this one...thats gay i cant belive not 1 person has this done with a picture..

 

i've thought about fiberglassing mine and painting it pearl white also! i can't quite bring myself to doing it though, i think it'd look kinda funny unless there's other white stuff in the interior; which i don't have.

 

well see im also doing a wall of 2 15's and the face im going to coat with fiberglass and also paint pearl white

 

PEARL WHITE!!! gotta love it

 

that looks awesome! my pearl doesn't normally stand out quite that much. if you want to see pics of it, i've got a bunch on my cardomain site. www.cardomain.com/id/am91camaro_rs

 

I think you should just recover it with white viynl (did I spell that right?).

 

ok i could get this painted for free..so whats the big hassle? so i buy a peice of vinyl slap it on there and im done!....boring lol

yeah my pearl sticks out a lot they must have put a lot in it.ur car looks great tho!!

 

thanks. if i were to paint mine again, i'd do the pearl differently to try to make it stand out more.

 

well then lets see it happen. I hear alot of talk but am not seeing much happen. rip that thing out and hope it holds enough of its shape for you to get a good straight line because that will be the hard part.

 

dude why fiber glass...... if you want plastic and not have to worry about fabric drooping over time just buy an "ABS" plastic head liner.... they sell then in "YEAR ONE"

 

He wants to glass it so its perfectly smooth, and them paint it pearl white to match the exterior.

 

yeah se eric u kno.. the point for this thread was for me to look at others as i wait to do mine.. its like what 40 * out come on.. my old headliner pissed me off one day and wound up in the trash so im going to buy a new one then glass it.. dont make me have to do it now cause im getting the t top headliner painted the same time the face of my wall gets painted.. i didnt say im going to do it this second.. and yeah i do searches and see a lot of talk over the forum.. people say all this stuff their gunna do and u get ZERO pics of progress.. how great lol

 

I dont know if I would buy a new one just to glass over it. I took out my headliner (t-top) cause it was sagging and broken in a couple of places and I almost glassed the whole damn thing just to get some integrity out of it but It was real hard to get it to keep a good straight shape. If I were you I would consider getting a big peice of styrofoam and make a mold for the headliner. then you lay foil or seliphane inside so it wont stick and your basically done. either that or I think youll probably end up making some kind of jig to keep it aligned. just an idea. you could even do it in sections and then mold them together when there done.

 

so if i took the headliner that was new .. layed it out on a flat tabel and started glassing .. you expect it to loose its shape?

 

Well I dont know how stiff a brand new one will be but I wouldnt expect it to keep its shape perfectly especially with the way the back of it slopes down on the sides to go behind the sail panels. but I guess it all depends on your glassing skills.

 

honestly i cant remember how the headliner is its been so long.. i think i'll just order one without the fabric and see if its do able...

 

Anyone have a picture of a custom fiderglass headliner yet?

Yikes. Looks like you had a heck of a time. Thanks for digging up those bones. Might be better off with a homemade one. It looks hit and miss when purchasing one.
