Nice work! Am doing this myself. Have you wrapped the A-pillars yet? Major PITA. Will probably have to use 2 pieces but am trying to find a way to wrap it with a single piece..

How are you planning on wrapping them? One piece or two pieces?

That is what happened to mine, vinyl just got so deformed looking. If you don't mind keeping me posted on how they turn out and how you did it, it would be appreciated..

Also when you did the T-top panels, did you start where the handle goes and work out? or did you start at one end and work to the other?

I am using Weldwood Contact Cement and Vinyl you can get at Hobby Lobby. The glue is about $7.00 for 32oz at Wal-Mart. This should be enought to do the all the pieces. The Vinyl is usually $10.00 a yard but right now it is on sale for $7. I would think you could do both doors with no more than 3 yrds. That is erroring on the safe side, and as long as you don't have to redo any. But that is the hard part, for me anyway.

How did you manage that! That looks great! I already decided it couldn't be done and bought a sewing machine to seam it.

Is it all in the pattern or what?
WOW!

It just takes a lot of careful stretching. I did mine, and they came out great, but the bottom half (with the window vent) is really really tricky. At first it seems impossible, but with patience and alot of stretching, it works out fine.

Yeah that is where I am having the problem. Is there a way to cut the fabric out to make it easier? Did you start at a certain place? I am at a lose right now. I even had my wife look at it to see what she thought, cause she loves to do those 1000 piece puzzles. Ha Ha!

FYI- I fu**ed up the other A-pillar so i must cut me a new piece and start over. It was in the vent area......How in the hell did i the first time???

I will try another approach by starting in the vent area.

i´m in the progress of wrapping the dash also, this time it seems to end up as i want Pics coming soon.

I wish a happy easter for all F-body lovers on LS1tech!

I was finally able to get one of the A-pillars to go mostly my way. It is not perfect but I can live with it. I will post some pics later.

I started at the vent area from the top and worked both sides at the same time. It worked out this time around, hopefully the other will do even better.

Good Luck!
