well i finished putting in my headliner today...now i'm waiting til tomrrow to trim it up so the adhesive can set for 24 hours. My friend came over yesterday to help out after i put in the insulation and we worked until i had to go to work...we just spent yesterday adjusting things to get in place so we could put it in today. So i got up at 8 am this morning and he came over and we did everything like it said on the many websites i found on the internet about putting the headliner in. It took about 4 hours or so....i would say thats not so bad for 2 teenagers that had never done this before and were working from almost no knowledge. Surprising it turned out really really nice...i would show pictures but since the interiors black you cant see anything with the camera. But i promise you i'm real happy with the results. Now its time to install the windshield so i can finally drive my baby around.

Did you take out the frt. and back windshields? What year is your car? Any tips we haven't heard before? Congrats on the job

yeah the windshields were removed from the beginning because i got it painted a few months ago...i have a 66 coupe...the only tips i have is that you definatley need 2 people that are strong enough to pull the material tight and pay a lot of attention to detail and take your time. Test everythign out with binder clips before you glue to see what happens...its mainly a lot of testing and thinking...

Congrats on the good job! It's not too hard to do, just a little time consuming isn't it?
