My Cafe Project

[BDiggity]

Started getting some of the interior back from the upholster. Its gonna look 1000 times better than the old cloth. Will post pics when i get home.

Now for the headliner. I plan on using a suede vinyl like this suede example (vintage grey) that is glued to maybe 1/4" foam. Anyone see any issues w/ doing that? Is there a better/different headliner material?

1. Anyone know how to remove these wood trim pieces? I want to wrap them in vinyl like Havasu Hangins Cafe.

2. Old fairing trim piece. Going to make a new one, this one i think beginning to show wood rot at ends. New one will be wrapped in purple cf vinyl.

3. Berth trim pieces about ready for new vinyl. Adding speakers & replacing old lights w/ LED's from yachtlights.com http://www.yachtlights.com/item--Hi-Intensity-LED-Courtesy-Lamps-Round--98050HI

Gettin short on time, but bolsters & cockpit side panels removed. Also was finally able to get all the wood trim around the berth entry off.

Sorry for blurry pics. Arms were tired & was hard for me to tell quality when taking them.

 

[BDiggity]

Now to start working on speaker locations for the cockpit, & i think i am going to redo the top trim piece in purple carbon fiber vinyl. That will match the berth trim pieces & grab handles i am getting powdercoated, plus in couple years new wrap or paint.
