Headliner question

What besides cardboard, masonite, or bought headliners are there to put in our old trucks. I can sew, glue etc, but not sure what to put up there.

Any alternative ideas?

You have enough posts to do a search, there have been many threads about this, Rod Doors as you know (still available) has a ABS kit but some people have just used sheet ABS.

Sometimes doing something all yourself from scratch vs. a kit becomes slightly less then enjoyable.

I did search and I have read all of them. So I was thinking someone might have done something different. I will quit posting.

You'll never get anywhere if you give up that easy........might even end up, to quote oldf1's sig: “Old, cynical, and cranky.”

This is one of the best I've seen and I'm about to give it a shot:

may not be easy, but whenever someone asks where you got it or who did your headliner, you'll be more proud to say I made it than I bought it

Might try a sheet of ABS from Lowes or Home Depot. Use the cardboard for a pattern.
