Headliner finished

Very nice job. I just made my first attempt at my interior last week. It all turned out pretty nice except the headliner. I bought one of the sewn cardboard headliners from Classic Haulers and attempted to cover it with headliner fabric.
I wish that I would have studied your photo more closely before I dove off into it. It all looked good until I got to the corners. The one piece headliner was too concave for the fabric to go down without wrinkling. I made some relief cuts at the seams, but they look like crap.
I'm going to take it back off and cut the cardboard headliner at the seams so the fabric will have a place to "wrap" at the corners. I think I can get by with just one seam... we'll see. Probably the worst part is going to be getting the fabric back off so I can put down new.
I'll post some pics when I'm done. I'm really hoping to make it to Pigeon Forge too.

DV, the amount of effort and expertise required to get the material to lie the way you want it to is directly affected by the quality of the material. I don't know what you payed, but if it was on the low side, then that may be the problem. It's kind of like "pay me now or pay me latter." Jag

I bought my abs headliner from roddoors and it turned out really nice. I posted a thread a month or so back with pics. The panel made it really easy to install. You can email Blaine Roberts at bar@roddoors.com to see if he makes one for your application. Great customer service.
