Talking interior install tips?

So I drove up to SacVinFord to pick up the interior for my '56. So, now the real fun begins.....

Any tips for installation? I've got the suspended tweed headliner, and the rest of the stuff is matching two tone grey/charcoal grey and just a touch of vinyl in strategic spots. Also, I have to attempt the one piece window install again with new fuzzy channels and window strips. I think I have that part figured, but any new info can't hurt!

Then the sway bars go onto the solid front axle and the 9" rearend. An almost controlled suspension, is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

I wish I could help you but I'm a long way from worrying about the headliner. You might want to talk with Carlene on the bodywork forum. She might be able to direct you in the right direction, I know she has done her own upholstery and seems knowledgeable along those lines.
