HERE is the stuff to buy.

Anyway this thing screws in, so it's still like put on your hard hat and hold it up while you get things going..About 90% done, so it'll look real good in the morning when I do the final trimming..Ya'll have a great evening..Take care Fred..Steve | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 1,271 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2003 Posts: 1,271 | Hey, Steve
Got any pictures?
I've got a pretty cool headliner already in my truck ... nicely padded and designed, with button tufting, but old and ratty looking. I'm just gonna take it out and use the old "whatever-is-there-under-the-material" for a template ... make a new cardboard deal and upholster that myself and install it.
But I won't be going there until I find a nice pair of seats out of a new wreck ... then I'll be buying some leather or vinyl to match the seats. Doing interiors is where I shine the most when it comes to all this stuff! I can't wait to get there.
