Also i'm looking into glassing a above console such as this pictured below. Well not exactly it but keep it up there and what not. As well i'm looking for ideas to do my 94 stang's door, if anyone has ever done it to fit in other pieces please post something for me to look at. Thanks. The idea i came up wiht for the center console was to use aluminum foil adn then to mold the shape for the remote and PS2 controllers, then fit it in the car flip it over and fill it with that foam from home depot, for heavy duty plumbing and windows. Thanks.

The mounting would be done mostly were the visor's were. The Alpine monitors will just come out of there housing and behind that you will need to fabricate a bracket using the prvious visor our make you own. The best place to start would be to make a templete so you know exactly what equipment is going to be where. once you have a solid base lay you fabric and start glassing. I can go all day but that should get you started.

Well yes i understand that, but i'm talkinga bout keeping the whole ceiling piece up as well as making a mold for the ceiling piece. How would you make a mold of a top piece, cause i doubt that's wood up there, but you can let me know what you think the do. Thanks

I am pretty sure they used 1/4 peice of MDF to build a base. once they knew how they were going to mount them they took it out and started to place there gauges, monitors, etc, I have not seen the rest of that ceiling but if it wraps around the back I would bet that they also used the grab handles as mounts also. Let me know were I can take a look a this vehicle.
