Looks new! Was the headliner glued in?

reaper71 · 12-28-2018, 08:36 AM

Yes it was glued in. We used 3M super77
It fought us every step of the way!!

Pic 1and 2 the seats had panels on the backs of them to help protect the covers.
So I had to do some bodywork to get them straight,followed by fresh paint.

Pic 3. This was the day I fired it for the first time.
