The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs Pictures of a 47-53 headliner

I recently installed the 5-piece brown cardboard set with a brown painted interior in my 48 burb. The pre-cut panels were too short width-wise right out of the box. I had to splice in some small pieces behind the panels to span the distance. I notice that they have shrunk a little more now that they have evaporated off the ammonia/water mixture used to install them and the garage is winter cold. I used the 2 cross braces per section that span length-wise between the crossbows of the middle 3 panels as the anchoring points to glue the cardboard with weatherstrip adhesive to try to prevent sagging. All in all,the finished product looks presentable but not outstanding. I have to remind myself that factory fit and finish wasn't perfect 63 years ago either! Dave
