Headliner
Installed the headliner. I go the traditional route of gluing the seams as I go. Ive done a couple now and the early chevelles are the easiest as they dont have holes in the material like the later years. Pretty simple just start at the front, work down each side and the go to the rear middle and work your way out to the sides one at a time.

Package Tray and Speaker
Package tray isnt too hard. I like to spend some time putting in extra foam on the sides so it fill outs nicely where the seat meets the metal. I also never feel the reproduction panel cardboard is truly wide enough. The factory option extra speaker is installed too. I had original screws that cleaned up nicely, along with the factory grille. Found the reproduction box is pretty nice too. I did divert some here. I grabbed a new speaker which wasn't built like the originals in the magnet area. I had to do some bracket fabrication and speaker modifications to make it all look factory once installed.

Sail Panels
These can be a real PIA. I find the reproduction sail panels to be a good start. I take the old ones and trim the new to match the old. I do some steaming and pre bending of the cardboard to make sure they have the shape I want to fill the gap with the package tray. Ive never been fond of anything pre assembled. Its best to get the cardboards where you want them in shape and then glue the material on. I always reposition the strip in the back that holds the clips. If done right they are very smooth and fit tightly.
