An uhpolstery shop?:dontknow:

Sorry, couldn't resist but that is what I ended up doing the last time I tried to install one.:smile2:

haha thanks for the advice. too bad there arent any shops like that in my little town, so looks like im stuck doing it myself :)

I didn't notice where you were located!:yell: All you can do is maybe do a search and hope to find a tutoral on how to get it done. I know there was a sticky over at Team Chevelle on headliners. Good luck!:smile2:

I just did a headliner on my 83- order the material from a local source- Upholstery shop- be sure to order all of the front and rear clips, as you are going to break em remoiving the headliner. Strip the old material and foam off the hardboard liner. apply spray adhesive to both the hardboard and the new cloth- work from the center out- use 2 people- one to hold and one to spread out the material. Trim the new cloth about 3/4 inch out from the edge of the hardboard after gluing to the hardboard.. {by the way i ordered 1 and 1/2 yds of material, and it was more than enough} you can tuck the extra material after replacing the headliner into the vehicle. PS clips can be ordered thru the EL CAMINO STORE. the whole job incl adhesive and clips cost less than 60.00. good luck :nanawrench:

thanks guys. the sticky at team chevelle helps alot. im going to takle it sometime this week, i will let ya'll know how it goes!
