Decent hood lining shop?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by big hugh ness, Jun 29, 2013.

  1. Guys, just a quick question: Can anyone give me the heads up on a decent shop that manufacturers hoodlining? Am after a ready made roof lining for my 55 Century coupe. Can't buy it in Aus. ready made. I have to get it made by an upholsterer, so, I'd rather fit it myself and buy the thing ready made from the USA.

    Not sure why you would want to line your hood. The heat from the engine and everything else going on in the engine compartment would be bad for it :D

    What do you guys call it then?
    Actually I was just telling my better half that I was gonna buy one ready-made and she tells me to get off my arse and find the sewing machine.
    Looks like a trip to the fabric shop shortly...

    It has been a while since I looked, but good old JC Whitney used to get headliners made someplace for just about any car. They came from some place that had the pattern for most cars.
