Headliner help

heres a tip that ive done with success. go to the craft section of your local Wamalart and buy sticky-backed felt. it comes in four colors (red, black, white, and green) and is basically just a regular sheet of felt with an adhesive backing. just take a piece of papr, cut it to the shape of the inside roof or your car, then transfer it to the felt and to a piece of .010" sheet styrene. cut the two out and stick the felt to the styrene. once all that is done, mark where you want the dome light to be and cut out the felt in that spot. then glue in a craft bead and glue the whole assembly into the model. it makes a very realistic looking headliner. you can also use the felt for realistic carpet. just cut a paper template, cut out the felt, and stick it in the bottom of the interior. hope this helps. later.

HEY,
Never would have thought of headliners. I would think that the felt would be too thick for carpets though, but hey if it worked for you awsome.

The problem with headliners is that they are stretched fabric between those metal wire supports. Very difficult to accurately depict a headliner that isn't one of the new one piece contoured units.
Sorry, no suggestions here, but I'm going to keep my eye open for any information.

Glad someone brought this one up cause Im doing a 67 GTX and I want to cover the mounting points for the windshields. How does everyone else put in windshields you dont see many on tanks so Im pretty clueless.

Guys, thanks for the replies.
I went with .010 styrene for the liner, since it was most flexible and could be fitted right to the contoured edge of the roof. It covered the crosspieces between the front and rear windshields nicely.
Jon, the idea about the felt was great. I've got a sheet of the stuff in the drawer that I use for the bottom of wooden display bases, and it was perfect for the carpet.
Thanks again.
