  5. I know absolutely nothing about this kit but I can assure you installing a kit headliner is not for the faint at heart,,they can be a royal PITA!

    I helped a guy that knew what he was doing when we installed the headliner in the "Ranch Wagon" and he cussed it and me for two days. HRP

    What are you putting a headliner in? I'm trying to figure out this style of bow headliner in my 34-3w chevy. I was going to have a friend cut the top off a junk '65 mustg. Coupe and try to use the bows and inner roof rail holes. I think it would look nice if this kit would come complete, but description is not very good.

    Ya, scared the hell out of me the first couple I put in, but I was broke and went for it myself. I've done 8 now with good results, but you had better be patient. It can ne real taxing to tje nerves.

    I believe those are made to replace the solid type headliners in the cars that are from the 70s and newer. If you try to do one just ask on here or p.m me I have done hundreds of them . Jack

    Not sure why everyone hates headliners. I have not done many, but the first one I did was a 51 Pontiac. It was alot easier than I expected after hearing horror stories. It was tight and no wrinkles. As for that kit. I wouldnt touch it.
