ABS interior kit install tips?

I purchased the abs interior kit from Mid-Fifty, for those that have used this kit do you have any tips on the install?
I plan on taking them to an upholstery shop to have them covered. Should I test fit all the pieces first? My gut feeling is that I should.
I have the upper braces for the seat belts in the cab, will there be an issue there?

The truck is a 55

The head liner part in my "51 was a real pain, hard to fit and hard on the fingers.
I discovered later that the warmer the better and even molded the rear side parts with a heat gun for seat belt re-tractor covers, The abs becomes very flexible with heat.

Thank you, I watched the video and the headliner looks like it is fairly easy to do.
Since I have the seat belt brackets, the upper side pieces cant clip in to the roof. So I think I'll have to remove the clip off of the panel and maybe use velcro to hold it.


Cut this clip off
