That Peter isn't an endorsement, it's a report, and although I'm
incapable of being a moderator with my temperament, I'd say
report away. Other wise how are we to know where to find the
best bang for our buck.
What I've used for the glove box that I made for my '50, (had to
burn the poor fitting "cardboard ones the vendors sold") was as
I posted, panel board or backer board.

http://www.perfectfit.com/15347/154...Black-Treated-Waterproof-Panelboard.htmlIt was the standard years ago in the auto upholstery shops when
they needed a ridged backing. It is still used for many projects
today but many shops are using a plastic backer as it has the
advantage that it can be heated and formed to fit.
Do a search for it on the net and you'll spend the rest of the
day surfing.
Here's a detailed tutorial on using the backer board which could
also apply to a headliner:

I know we have some upholsterers here on the bolt, hopefully
one or some will jump in and get their feet wet.
