Default Re: Headliner 1936

A completed head liner will have listings sewn in in all the places they need to be to hang in the car. If wire bows are used, the listings will be looped for the bow to fit inside of the loop. Where it attaches to wood, it will be tacked or stapled to the wood bow. What I don't know is which side they would be stapled to (front or rear). You will have to mark the headliner with chalk or equivalent fabric marker for the center of the cab location and then mark the cab for center location. Most folks start at the front and move to the rear but that is a general way to do it. Not every car is the same so I would ask a trimmer that has done one before on the best place to start. You want to have a decent alignment from one end to the other or it will end up being crooked. It helps if you mark the listings for center on each one and mark the bows for center as well. Any reference for alignment is better than none.
