A wooden head liner? now that would be different

Did that to a Ford van I had. Worked out great & looked real good.

I'm not quite sure how a wooden head liner would be with exhaust that's more than likely going to have a deep rumble, feel a head liner would absorb better.

Found some time Sunday to work on the hot rod,pushed the wiring ball a little farther down the field. All wires are extended to the fuse/rely area and are ready to find their homes, that will be a large part of the project done. Received the stall converter and flex plate this week so it should not be to long till I the hot rod comes to life. What a day that will be!

The other day I needed to haul two, 16 ft. 2 X 4's. This is my rendition of a Woodie Wagon. Those are 12 footers coming out the rear hatch too.

  Over the door handle, under the mirror. Bungee each end to follow the body contours. Staple on the flags. No problem. Well..., until I had to get my 57 year old body to do a NASCAR entry/exit.

Wittsend, might need to put that under '' wood on wagon''. Some days you just got to do what you got to do to get the job done! Thank God for the bungee cord.

Is the mat the light weight stuff or the tar backed stuff ?

I used the self adhesive tar backed in my white car. Stuff was hard to deal with - the adhesive is really sticky stuff ! If it folded & touched tar/tar it was nearly impossible to separate !
Going with the light weight next time.

Pinto5.0 you do win the'' wood in wagon''prize! Reeves1 I did use the thick tar style matte, found a slick way to apply it. Just make a lite cut threw the paper backing about inch and half from the starting edge and pull that pc. off, stick it down and work the rest of the paper off as you apply matte down. It did'nt hurt that most of the area was open and flat. After 4 years of this project I have started to install systems for the last time, fuel system in,trans cooler and lines in,motor w/ oil system(dry sump) in and primed, power steering in and filled and bled,all hoses and belts on. To tell you the truth I'm about half freaked out,for those of you that have never done a project like this you may not under stand that statement. After four years of on and off and on and off it's hard to comprehend it's being put on for the last time(all thats left of the Pinto is the shell and front frame rails/rad support).Still a lot of work to be done,but hope to start it in a few weeks. Bud  If you care to see some of the build pic's check out my gallery.

Well the day I had been looking for showed up last Friday, the boy and I took the hot rod off the rotisserie  and set it on the ground. Put fire to the beast on Saturday, what a moment that was!!!

Had a small window to test fit the dash with most the wiring done, so good so far. Ign. brain box & junctions behind glove box.
