I have the same headliner jm, I have not installed it yet.
I put insulation on the cab roof and on a hot day I still cant keep my hand on it.
My plan is to buy a roll of fiberglass insulation made for walls and put a 1in layer between the headliner and the roof.
In addition to keeping some heat out, it should also dampen some noise, I hope.

Yours looks great! What did you use? I was at Home Depot yesterday and saw this white ABS (I think) 4'x8' sheet for $15 and thought about trying that for making a head liner. It was a little thin but figure Y not?!

salf100 - I used FRP (F for fiberglass Reinforced plastic) its stiffer but unaffected by heat and will not sag here in Florida. I did not like the look when complete-sorta looked like a shower- so I went to Joanne fabric and bought headline fabric and spray glued it over the frp.

This is very nicely done. The extra screws on top are very much needed. With a headliner the inside just looks so much nicer. Good job.

Salf - I think the cardboard will not bend as you need it to in a few places. I am considering PVC sheet shower liner in a thickness of 1/16'' (or maybe 2mm). It is very strong yet will bend without cracking. I have a scrap that is very close to Wimbledon white and I'm looking for a local source for a 4x8' sheet of the same. I intend to use it for the door "panels" as well, so I want it to match the dash, although Ford didn't do too well on that issue originally...
