Headliner, Before & After WOW!

I am suprised how well they where able to be reshaped! Now the rest of the interior looks worse. I like it though, lets me know what to start on next.

There was even a good sized Rats nest in the sag over the drivers seat, Un occupied Thankfully. I have 2 more pictures in my gallery

BEFORE


AFTER

Looking good! I wish mine was sagging but in good condition, instead its stiff and attached well, except for the mud goober nest that made a stain. Glad to see brutus reversing the aging effects... -4speed

Thanks all for the positive feedback. Kenny I would be glad to.

It really was pretty simple. The headliner was not really rotten or brittle so I just soaked and scrubbed it down several times, I didn't get greedy and try to get them back in shape all at one soaking. (I just hosed them down for a minute). I used whatever I could find around the house to Flatten and reshape the two sides and the top. I had to use two big heavy speakers on the large top section so it could be flattened and dried all at once. I even patched a fist size rat knawing at the bottom of th passenger side panel.

The Paint I was unsure about at first. Its a Rust-Oleum product called "Stone Creations". It's multicolored green, and has a nice rough texture, I thought it would suit the headliner application. It really turned out better than I hoped.
