Chirco
is building a Baja Bug! Many of the air - cooled VW
parts and procedures used can also be used on Dune Buggies,
Sand Rails. These pages feature links to the Chirco
online parts catalog.
We decided that we wanted a headliner in Donnie's car,
but the roll cage prevented installing a regular headliner.
Jackson said, "I have an idea". We went and picked up
some gray foam material that will be glue to the body.
We
purchased a large roll of gray foam and figured
our first part of the headliner would be the inside
roof. We cut a piece larger than we needed. From the
second photo you can see the material we used.
Jackson
put some thick glue that we purchase buy the gallon
in his spray gun and started to spray the roof.
Then we ran the foam above the roll bar carefully
to not make contact with the glue.
Jackson
the sprayed the back side of the foam and let
it sit for a couple of minutes to get tacky.
We
then pressed the foam up and smoothed it out with
our hand.
So
far it looks very cool and should deaden some
of the hollow sound that Baja bugs have.
Jackson
then cut some small strips to do above the widows.
He
first inserts one side in to the gap and the the
other side goes into where the stock headliner
is inserted.
So far so good.
We
had some problems around the rear window because
of the curves in the body.
Jackson is very methodical in his work.
I kept asking Jackson if I could help him?
He said "Thank you, you are helping"
I wonder what he meant by that?
Not
all of the interior will be covered. This sure
has made the inside look nice. The rest will
be finished when we do the wiring.
Great job Jackson
