ive seen it done before on tv on some show. they took the body, flipped it upside down, laid down a bunch of plastic wrap and fiberglassed all over it. to make the board. plastic wrap kept it from sticking to the car. what about that idea?

No cab removal, truck is 90 percent done!
Will use sheet ABS plastic,glued to spacers glued to metal roof, & same material as seats over high density foam! Glue the edges like now too the roof lip all the way around.

Hey Gary, could you maybe do something like Joe suggested except with an extra roof off of a scrap truck? It would be easier to do that way too on account of only having the roof to deal with, just lay it across a pair of saw horses and go to town on it. If it worked well you could always build a mould from it and sell more. Probably be a few takers with how popular fiberglass interiors are these days. Just a thought anyways...

if you truck already has a headliner on it, you can pull off the old material & cover it with fiberglass resin & sand it smooth

some one could clean up taking the roofs from junk yard autos that have the wire headliners and just using them as molds for the fiberglass trick.
