Hello all, I'm a little stumped on what to do with the head liner for my '65. I still have the OEM cardboard perforated one in there, but the main roof piece is sagging and overall looks like crap. Rather than replacing it with a new one of the same appearance, I'm looking for an idea or two on how to either fix the sag in it/recover, or what has anyone else done with theirs? I'm not looking to keep it 100% original, so modifications or custom ideas are very welcome...thanks for reading!

 

I have a pattern I posted the link to you can download, and print on plotter. I made mine out of FRP. (fiber reinforced panel)

 

If you don't want original, here's custom. Looks like the hood
<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 itxtNodeId="29" itxtHarvested="0"><TBODY itxtNodeId="30" itxtHarvested="0"><TR itxtNodeId="33" itxtHarvested="0"><TD bgColor=#dfdfdf colSpan=2 itxtNodeId="44" itxtHarvested="0"></TD></TR><TR itxtNodeId="32" itxtHarvested="0"><TD bg*************** colSpan=2 align=middle itxtNodeId="46" itxtHarvested="0">
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

 

Please post the link to the pattern,
also is the fiber reinforced panel what Lowes sells. Shinny white on one side and used in Bathrooms?

 

Now THAT is SWEEEET!!

 

Thanks guys...both excellent ideas!!

Yes, I used the stuff from Lowes. Very durable, and If I decide to cover it, there are lots of glues to attach cloth to it.

 

the link didn't work,
but I'll try it on my home compter as well. Sometimes the office computer doesn't allow some of these through.

 

It didn't cut and paste complete. Try this one. If it doesn't work search for "PDF headliner" and you will find the thread I listed it in originally.

Not trying to hijack thread, but these photos fall under "What has anyone else done with theirs" In case you did'nt go to my gallery here's a picture of the back by back window.

Shows what you can do with a little imagination and thinking outside the box. "Doing it tastefully"

 

gangstakr, That is pretty cool, did you remove the tank, or is that a tank cover? I have considered making my own semi solid tank cover.

 

The tank is between the frame rails in back. Check out my gallery

 

Very nicely done. Funny thing is, I already have the paint for it. Dark Charcoal. Now I know what it'll look like once painted.. I scored a set of black leather Mercedes buckets for it too; going to be a royal pain getting them in but worth it!

 

More than 100 people used downloaded it, and so it expired. This is a reupload.

Where did you get that?
