Idea!!!
Get the pressboard and some thin foam.. like 3/16-inch or less thick, cut out your design from the foam (flames, art deco, wings, rebel flag, etc.), and then use super adhesive contact cement and mount those pieces to the pressboard. I think the rough backside will provide better adhesion. Heck, if you're careful enough you might be able to have a positive and negative images of your design. To continue...
Next, spray the exposed pressboard and foam with the contact cement and then apply auto-grade vinyl, rolling and tucking the vinyl into the reliefs created by your foam design. You should end up with a headliner that looks embossed.
The design needs to have enough "open area" such that the vinyl can stick to the pressboard and the design doesn't get blurry.

I got to wondering today if I ordered a 3'x5' Ford Flag if I could glue it to my headliner? I did something similar with a rebel flag in my Bronco.
But I don't know if after I get it all centered up and everything if part of the Blue Oval will be tucked behind and cut off?

I was in the fabrick store with my wife the other day, and they actually have a material out there which was called "Headliner"...it's the same material as most stock vehicles today. I'm going down that way today, I'll see if I can find a manufacturer name or find out where they purchase their stock from. It would look pretty nice.

Looks pretty cool sir!...I'm about to undertake the Headliner challenge on my 66 with the plans I got from Robert (aka gangstakr)...I'm preparing mentally for the challenge...think I'm going to do it out of aircraft aluminum.
