Interior Valance


We had two changes in mind for the top valance. First we needed to house the screen for the side and back up cameras, and second we wanted the ends to flow better into the headliner. 


The truck has all these amazing nice curves in it and we felt that the straight line on the valance didn't really fit the truck.
That being said Chris put a little curve into the part.
The two sides are done and Chris fabricated the parts to hold the screen. The opening will have a door to hide the screen when not in use. Most of today's technology will be out of sight to preserve the vintage feel and look. 
The old vacuum windshield wipers will be replaced with electric motors. Will fix the old opening to be smooth with the rest of the panel   


Test fitting the screen and holes all finished up.


Cover made for a nice clean look. Still have some adjustments to be made to the door skin.
Needed to make some adjustments to the support to house the screen.
Made the new brackets to hold the electric motors for the windshield wipers. Hope they work as good as they look. 
Every thing now fits nicely behind the valance. Next up is to trim the fiberglass headliner to fit to the changes that were made.
