Teardrop II Build: Headlinder Protection

I need to get a quick update in as the holidays fly by and suck up all the time. I've finished the headliner and have also applied a coat of polyurethane on the top surface. Yes, this area will be the inner surface of a sandwich involving polystyrene insulation and the outer skin, but you still want to get some kind of moisture protection on it.

Below, the sectional front curve is in place. It may not be a smooth single arc, but it's pretty in its own right.




The outside of the front headliner section, below. The double spars help secure this more easily and effectively.



Below, this topside of the headliner with the polyurethane applied.




The next step is another coat of polyurethane on the top and front outside of the headliner. It's not fun, but it'll do nothing but help in durability. Once that is done I'll work on cutouts for the fans and lighting prior to laying down the polystyrene insulation.

Here's to cold December nights working in the garage warming my hands on near the kerosene heater!
