Custom metal roof liner (interior) installed this week. Very very happy with how it has come out, exactly what I was after. Shop has done an amazing job on it.

Very cool....I do think we can use all the insulatioin possible however. I insulated plenty and my car is still pretty loud. Metal is not a very good sound absorber.

Very diffrent I like it but are you going to have some insulation in there? I would imagine it will get pretty hot on a sunny day.

I sprayed 3/8 insulation between the headliner. I hope that will keep the heat down.

I have the original factor installed insulation plus some additional padding. Further as this is made out of a roof skin with 5 inches removed from the center then welded in pretty tight, right now there is zero movement or vibration. Mind you the car isn't running yet, so i am hoping that it will be pretty quiet. But if it isn't that's fine.

66Nova, love it that looks sweet. I have alos seriously considered flames on the inside roof.

My car will have kandy yellow with ghost flames on the hood, and we are toying with the same on the roof.

Keep me posted on your progress

We are going candy red with flames. There will be flames on the roof and then duplicating the flames from the roof to the inside of the headliner.

Candy yellow nice what color interior?
