    I just got the replacement headliner from SMS Auto Fabrics installed this week. I couldn't be happier with it. It was a exact match for the original in fit and appearance. I highly recommend their products. Here's a few pics. 20180707_113256.jpg 20180707_113218.jpg 20180707_113223.jpg

    I'll second that. I got my sample and with these pics I'm definitely getting one.

    I wish I could take credit for the install but I had a local guy do it. He does top notch work. Getting the windlace and sunvisors redone next. Then it's carpet. Hopefully I can sell some more parts and get the front seat redone. It's hard on a guy after a hour or so behind the wheel.

    HaHA...I was just getting ready to congratulate you on a job well done and in only a week, lol. Looks great,,,,,sooooo much better than vinyl imho.
    Isn't the windlace (which doesn't look bad at all from what I can see) behind the new headliner?

    Yes,its behind the headliner. The track strip was missing and the installer tried to glue it but it won't stay put. He offered to fix it for free so I decided to buy a color that's a better match.

    If it's like 57's, not much up there to glue to. I screwed wood strips to the body all around the door openings to have something to staple to.
