headliner for 40

[thorvald]

anyone made their own headliner? what materials work best?
thinking of using kangaroo leather, once i get everything else fixed on it and painted, and lifted, etc. figure going to keep it forever so might as well make it nice

A post from the LCML that I saved just for this reason.

I put rhinolining on. It looks uniform, won't sag, chip and you can hose it off.

You need to hose off your headliner?

I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

 

[78mustard40]

Just said you could, I wouldn't but you never know who might do what.
