Brazilian Dodge Dart 76 (similar to 69 usa)
Today I stretched headliner.
I´m following this tutorial
Restorations by Rick Kreuziger - Headliner installation
I spent until now about 2 hours
- 1 hour preparing headliner, making inital cuts; inserting bows into hanger clips, also installing the 2 small wires with hooks on the end).
- 1 hour with the following tasks
First, I´ve checked the center like. I think it is ok.
I tried to strench rear and and front end. At this moment, I was not aware to make everything perfect.
well... today is "fathers day" in Brazil. I went visit my dad.
When I came back by night, I tried to removed folding marks, stretching headliner a bit more.
Firt, pull front end, starting in center.. then.. went to left side and right side.
I notice that the cut I made on listing pockets was not enought. Tomorrow I will trim a bit more.
Altought, result is getting almost ok.. Just a few folding marks, which I hope will disapear when I apply a heating gun.
Corners still not ok. I noticed now that on tutorial, author made some cuts... I think this will make my life easier. Tomorrow I will spend a few more minutes (hours) to let everything ready to glue.
