29 special coupe headliner

[cdan]

Does anybody have pictures of the headliner in a special coupe? Making one on my own and want to see how it is installed. If anybody can help that would be much appreciated.

I have a 28 special coupe I pretty much finished a couple years ago. I bought an upholstery kit from Classtique, which included the headliner. I installed the headliner twice. The first time I didn't tack the narrow cardboard strips to the wood bows high enough to keep them from causing a slightly raised area next to the two seems. I removed the headliner and the second time I moved the cardboard strips up about 1/8". The headliner turned out very nicely. Even though Ford used tacks to install the headliner, I found that trying to install the tacks on the springy top bows was difficult to do. The second time I installed the headliner, I used a staple gun. It worked much better than tacks. I took a couple pictures of the headliner in my car. It is hard to get a good picture of the headliner as it is too big to get a nice complete picture. As you can see in the pictures, there are two seems that have tacking material sown into the seems to install the headliner. Hopes this helps.
