A-C Authentic headliner material

#1 Post by Joris Koning »

Gang,

I know this has been a subject coming up from time to time. As the upholstery time draws closer for my coupe I'd like to try one final time if someone out there has found a trully authentic headliner material. Don Fowler and I sourced some material a couple of years back which was real nice but still not 100% correct.

Just hypotheticly, how many of you out there would be interested if someone would decide to have some 100% correct material made?

Joris,
I would ask the Paterack Brothers where to get truly authentic headliner material.

Joris,

Do not want to `Teach My Grandmother to Suck Eggs` - BUT

My take on this would be that :- if you source anything in The States, the Dimensions will be Imperial (centres of perforations)

Europe will be Metric
