Nice work on the interior Marcus. Looks like it will be every bit as good as the rest of the vehicle.

Starting on the rear part of the headliner with more tuck shrinking. This time I had the tucks to the outside and found it a bit easier to crush them down as I had a male form to do it over.


As you would expect it is getting quicker to make the compound corners. This meets up with the other half already done on the pieces over the door opening.


Welded the first three pieces together.


Even though the headliner skin will be covered with flat knit foam backed headliner material to match the Grand Cherokee interior, I still take the time to hand planish and wheel it.


Passenger side in place and can see how it flows better but still giving as much headroom over the seat as possible.


Driver side done and even matches!


I have it tucking in behind the rear window frame. Two more pieces left to go. I will leave welding to the console last so I can take the two side pieces out to weld and planish them easier.

As always- really, really great work, Marcus. I think I like the unseen work the most. Thanks for showing the process.

Instead of welding it in ,consider rivets or some removable fastener so it will be easier to fix the roof panel when some one cuts a tree branch as you are passing by . Hope it does not happen . It just seems that the someones always bangup the hardest to repair parts on the best vehicles .

Ha ha, I didn't even see that.
When I first cut it out it looked like a spot for a 50's radio!

Only welding the pieces to each other and not the frame of the cab for the reason you mention. Also it has to come out before paint anyway. All the fixtures will be hidden under decorative strips that match what goes around the windows. The interior handles will hold up the sides.

Default Matchbox

Hi Marcus. I collect matchbox toy cars. I’ve just seen on a Facebook group page
A Willys pick up tuck. Like yours In there pick up series set.
Only problem is that matchbox toys are hard to find in Australia at the moment.
I will keep a look out for one.
