I'll be reupholstering the headliner in my '40 coupe and have heard different recommendations. Some say the aftermarket rubber tack strips don't hold staples well. Some say to use poplar strips, others say Masonite.
I've always used the stuff sold by Lebaron-Bonney. It's a dense plastic type material - it may even be TeflonŽ. Holds the staples very well - so well in fact, they're difficult to remove. Came in many sizes.
I would think places like C&G would sell it...
