I'm still remodeling my interior, coming along good, except, what can I use to cover my rear ceiling with the curves. Nothing I've found bends that much? | ||

Bendy board, Formica, Cardboard, plywood with multiple half inch kerfs cut in the back.... Or build the curve out in multiple square edges, then use the tunnels left by the squares to make wiring chases. Where there's a will there's a way! | ||

Luan covered in whatever headliner material you choose. From the photo looks like a Eagle cap so cut the luan to make that curve about 16inches I think then butt the other to that and you are on your way good luck (Message edited by luvrbus on January 16, 2011) (Message edited by luvrbus on January 16, 2011) | ||

if you dont round it and put a piece from the flat of the roof to the flat of the wall it will leave you a tunnel all the way down the length to run wiring | ||

Sometimes you have to think outside of the box so to speak. Since I opted to use rounded corners everywhere I possibly could, to save on chips on the laminate, I also rounded those roof corners as well. Instead of following the contour of the curve, I rounded it outward to match the rest of my cornets. This allowed for some pretty keen wire chases as well and it was easier! | ||

I'm with Cory's idea on this. It is nearly impossible to make all those compound curves look good. Try making stuff as flat as you can with furring strips or iron, etc. and cover that up. David | ||

Spanky, When I did the rear of ours I put up some furring strips and did not follow the exact curve, smoothed it out some. I attached the strips to the steel frame for the rear cap. Then added 1/4" plywood over and then 1/4" oak plywood. If I were to do it over I would square everything up and use the interior space for wiring or whatever. It was a real pain, but it sure does look nice! |
