Ok, had a go at the head lining this past week, I am useing a track system that I use in my business, for home theatre, meeting/board rooms.

I screwed in some ply to the roof braces first, then screwed the track to it and the inner side of the gutter cap, put in some dacron then streched the vinyl over, I have got to do the back half yet, will build a overhead shelf/speaker housing first then finish up to it
