2) Too late now, but would I have been better off to have just had a shop install the headliner without using the stock parts? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 "Hey!

It's not hard to make your own panels. Heavy paper, scissors and tape will be your friend. Just do one panel at a time. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 |

Did you use the original bows and center braces? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 | Thank you for the compliment! Original bows, no center braces. They're not needed for the ABS. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 | I used panels from LMC and it was a time consuming job but not hard at all. My son and a friend helped and it went OK. We started at the back and ended up at the windshield. You will need tagboard to make patterns. We put one section up at a time and then installed the next bow and continued on one section and bow at a time. Not a hard operation but time consuming. Good luck and go to it.
