I am prepping the canopy interior surfaces for the upcoming interior and headliner purchase from Abby at Flightline. When you get the interior pieces is there a padded backing to it that covers minor surface blemishes of the fiberglass, or is it just straight leather pieces that adhere to the surface? I have smoothed out the 'veins' on the lid and am still sanding and smoothing, just want to know how for to go on the sanding for the headliner and what areas won't be covered and need to be finish sanded smooth.

The bulkhead panel sits on the forward edge of the corrugated panel and is about 1/4 thick overall. It covers the rivet line on the cabin top above the panel

You will want to smooth out the inside of the top. There is no foam backing. You will glue it right to the top. The top doesn't have to be sealed or any thing like that, just get it smooth.
If you are going to put a center console in, it is best fit with the top off. You will probably want to put the top on and dry fit the console a couple times also. I believe most of us that are installing a console are attaching it with the top off. It is much easier. Also you might want to attach the headliner in the central area with the top off. It is much easier to apply the center 18 to 20 inches with the top up side down. Let it dry and install the top for the last time.

I put 1/8 inch foam backing (fire retardant0 on my fabric from Abby.
Worked great and you don't have to worry about smoothing out the top.

Hi All,
It is truly amazing to be out here in the shop working on exactly the same thing other builders are! The Blackberry vibrates and there is another guy gluing in the rear windows. Technology is sure wonderful!
