I wouldn't put it up that as it's going to be a head knocker in an accident. And not in a good way.

You might also consider a laptop mount, similar to what's used in a police cruiser.

Mobotron laptop mount

I used this for my ham radio and antenna tuner. Eventually I'll install this in my Bullnose truck since I scrapped my 96 Oldsmobile 98.

i wouldn't mount a cb to the headliner. if you knew where there were ribs, maybe then, but i don't see it working otherwise without going through the roof
I'm actually kinda planning to do something similar for my CB, Ham radios, scanners and switch panel with Ol' Red but I might do a custom built one when I finally get to it...
