A couple of months ago there was a post on building a custom headliner. I'm wondering if anyone has attempted it. It was talking of the new style headliner without the bows. Pics would be awesome if anyone has done this in their classic.

I am also interested in that as well as I am not happy at all with my new one, too loose. Can you just glue it up there?

big name upholstery shops use a type of thermoplastic,that is heated, and put under a vacuum through particle board... the same way a sign shop pulls lexan sign faces.they can do flames, scallops, what ever you want embossed into it.i imagine if you could get it hot enough, it could be formed down over a buck. 2x4's, some particle board, and a belt sander would probibly get you going. if you made up a buck, and got the plastic sheet, a sign shop would probibly pull one for you for a reasonable price.

custom upholstry shops will also glue foam to the roof and shape it as needed then cover it with vinyl, leather, or velour.
