Yup... I won my personal battle with my cars headliner. It's installed....and it looks pretty good no less! I've been fighting with this Damn thing for MONTHS and for some reason I went to the garage and just did it. 1...2...3...done. I just have to glue the drivers side roof rail, but otherwise it's IN.

I managed to pull it a little tighter after I snapped these pictures....

The drivers side still has a few small wrinkles that will get pulled out when I attach it tomorrow night. I wanted the glue to set up on the passenger side. And I didn't have to use headliner #2!

And here's another sound clip of what this thing sounds like....and boy do I love it!

Headliners suck, You did a nice job. Headliners are cross between sewing and bed making upside down. I remember in the Army trying to get the corners tucked and no wrinkles.......kinda the same thing. Your car sounds wicked too:) How far from bieng on the road?
 
Nice job on the liner, John!
I busted my butt doing mine back in June. It came out good, but I can still see the fold marks from packaging. I think they're here to stay!
I aint never doin' another one a those either!

not to hard was it.I have done 7 of the last cars i have had.Look forward to doing my 69 soon.Tip when your all glued up take a spray bottle with water mist the liner,then take a hair dryer to it and smooth it out.Trust me it works.Good job.
 
sounds pretty wicked. seats, carpet, and a dry patch of road is all you need now.

Great work.
 
Nice job! If you park your car in the hot sun with the windows rolled up your headliner will tighten up even more!

According to the cam card, it's a XE274H. .488 on the intake and .491 on the exhaust side. Duration @ .006 tappet lift is 274 intake/286 exhaust 110 degree lobe seperation. Translation: it THUMPS. I can't wait to drive it. Should be soon....

BTW: Sorry I missed your call the other day Steve. I'll buzz you tomorrow. 8)
