Default T-Top Head Room

I'm scheduled to drop the 70 off for paint this Friday. Saving some head room; and money and trying to un-warp my original headliners, I just did the interior to match the interior color. I'm also planning on putting a piece of headliner to form the inside space; since the t-top itself has been reinforced there it will cover the slight imperfections. I'm hoping this will not look to modded up, but again this is a Resto-Mod.




If all goes well; the next picture will be beautiful Deep Water Blue.

I don't think that looks bad at all, and there's a little more room that if the liners were in.

Very few people ever look up when they look inside a car. Sure sitting in the car you might (but even then) and how often are the roofs on anyway.

Alternately, you can also keep an eye out for a set of glass tops from a later model and convert over to that style

I left the liners out for headroom. I think that it's impossible for anyone taller that 4 feet to even twist their head around enough to even see that they're missing.

Looks good. I recently took my interior panels out, taped off and sprayed some rubberized undercoating on the interior side. My interior is black so it matches and was able to get a nice even texture. Im 6' and definitely like the extra head room. Plus like mentioned before, nobody looks up that often anyways.

Bubba glued my headliners in with some kinda brown glue. Looks like someone crapped in my top then covered it up with the headliner.
