The Ford Barn

I am missing a few areas of tack strip material for headliner and wind lace, on my 39 2 dr sedan. I'm not sure if it is available, or if that is the correct name. Any information, and or help appreciated. Thanks Ron

I’ll admit I cheated long ago to make some tack strip material for a headliner install in a Model A… I just glued two or three layers of panel board scraps together that I had left over from the interior install. The Model A tack strip was wider than what I could find from vendors, and the remnants I had looked like cardboard anyway. The later stuff seems to be more dense, though. But my cardboard is still holding fine after 15 years. I did ensure that the glued layers were thoroughly dry before installing.
