Project THX, I recenrly put a Julianos insert in the 3-window I'm doing.

I bought the kit but ended up not using the canvas material that goes under neath and the foam that they provided.

It comes with 1/2" foam that I was afraid would give a "moving a matress" look to the car, so I used 1/4" foam so it wouldn't stick up too high.

If you haven't already finished yours I have some photos of how I did mine if your interested but here is a picture of the finished product.

Hey Mick,

Yes, I would love to see how you did yours! I have not done anything except for drill the holes in the strips and make a paper pattern off an original 32. I kinda wish that the how to video covered putting one on a fiberglass car since that what I told them I was putting it on.

I guess my big question is really this, did you use a paper pattern or a piece of cloth as a pattern? I called New Age Motorsports and talked to Ed and he said I could use a piece of cloth (bed sheet) so the pattern would lay flat against the roof. If you notice in my photos the paper does not lay really good against the top of the car. Here is my worry, if I use a piece of cloth isn't my drill bit going to catch this and twist the cloth???

Anyway I would love your input on how you did such a bitchin job on your 32! Man I would love to be seen in that rod on a Saturday night!!!!

PS. I don't like the big foam pad either but once again this kit was made to go on a steel car so I will just give the foam to my buddy that has a steel 32 and get me a piece of 1/4 " foam. What did you not like about the canvas?
