Thumbs up headliner *pics* does anyone still live in the 90's with 56k?

well yesterday i got bored and decided to do my headliner. figured if i messed up doing it id just buy a new one. pulled it down removed old material. cut "chevy" out of sponge bored. to give it that "custom" look. i have yet to install it (raining outside) but will post those pics when i do. ( the glue marks arent on there anymore great having parents who own a carpet cleaning company)



ve
not a half bad job for first time ever covering something and going around letters. (imo)

Thats pretty cool. You dont see very many guys getting creative with the headliner, especially in a t-top car. Thats why I bought the one i did too. I should be the only one in my area with a custom headliner that i know of.

Here is a pic of mine.

I bought mine off another member on here. I was lucky enough to be the first person to respond & pay when he posted them up. I also got these leather door inserts to match. I gave $200 for it all shipped.

I just ordered the Ebony leather wrap kit from Specialized Stainless, so all my interior plastic will be wrapped. I almost have everything I need for a complete Ebony swap. It'll be done w/full pics by summer, hopefully.

I used SEM automotive upholstery dye. Not sure if it was paint or liquid dye. It was in a spray can, but it doesn't feel like it has been painted. And you can rub on it & nothing flakes onto your hand.

What did ya'll use for the patterns under the vinyl? And how is it holding up? I tried this awhile back and the glue kept letting loose and the vinyl would come up around the letters.

Not yet I just recieved my leather kit from Specialized Stainless to help get me closer to my Ebony conversion. Once I get all the interior pieces I need I'm gonna start the swap.
