Me and my brother put the headliner in my dad's '65 Nova. It wasn't a terrible job, but I sure was glad when it was done. Turned out pretty well too.

----I tried the headliner deal 1st back in about 1988 or so. It was a 72 El Camino SS small block. I figured that because of the size it would be easy. Was using the heat gun to tighten up the wrinkles and blew a 4 inch hole in the almost finished headliner.....Bill S

I put up with my wife's cursing at me as I walked out of the house with her hair dryer. I did not want to use a heat gun for that reason.

Default Johnny come lately here, newby..

I’m still navigating around on this SCR site and stumbled onto this R68GTO thread.

Awesome car, but a more Awesome story!

I love the start, Introducing ...... RAT’S NEST.

I know that feeling, sometimes you hope you see something negative so you can STOP thinking about it, in this case a car.

Congratulations on a Super Rare Find.

I’m subscribing now.

Chris.

Wrapped up my headliner assembly this morning and installed the original sail panels and original rear inners. Pretty happy with overall results. Car will leave my possession Monday and go back to the body shop for final front sheetmetal and glass assembly. Getting closer.....
