can/has it been done?? home made headliner...

j par, you did a great job on this. I'm a pro upholsterer in Australia and that's a good effort for a guy just having a go! The main thing I'd have done to improve it would have been to fibreglass over the joints from the backside of the liner. But it's holding up as is so that's the main thing. I often tell people to have a go at these things. The worst that can happen is you'll have to start again if it doesn't work! Here's my home made liner for my Aussie 1967 Dodge ute. Yet to be covered but as it's still under construction I'll wait to cover it until the ute's finished! I made the original liner in a spare roof turret, made a mould from that, then the finished product which is only two layers of thin fibreglass. But that's around 250 hours work!!

Yes that looks very professional!... I didn't use fiberglass but in post 48 you can see where I use some weather straps every so often to keep things from falling apart. Also I felt the material on the face side would kind of keep things together as well... And yes it's holding up just the other day I was driving the car and I kind of ran my hand around the roof and gave myself a little smile as everything still seemed nice and tight... It's been almost 5 years...
