What do you all use for a headliner on the burbs and panels? I need something flexable enough for the curves on the sides. Any photos would be great.

Here is a photo album with comments of Jim Carter headliner installed on a 1954 Suburban.

Not all the pieces were cut properly.

I would do one thing differently: varnish/seal the back (upper) side of the cardboard.

The pieces bent into place fairly easily - two people working together made the job easier.

Here are a few photos of roof insulation that was installed prior to installing the headliner.

Thanks for the input. What would a fella use on a low budget. I saw 1/8 inch paneling at lowes. Could that be used and could you apply fabric to it? Sorry for too many questions in one sentence.My build is for a 66 panel. Thanks again.

Thanks DThela, I use this at work at least once a month. Every time I install it I think, headliner?
