Greg the head liner is a materiel that I found at Michaels which it comes in a 12 X 12 sheet with a adhesive back and they have it in multiple colors.

I have finished getting the bear metal foil on so next I will tackle installing the windows.

[Metalmad]

Windows are installed as is the rear view mirror. Also I just noticed that the front and rear bumpers will need a little rework on the ends so I rework these at a later date and just install them for the show Sunday at the NHRA museum .

I have finished getting the bear metal foil on.....widows are installed.....wheels are installed with front braided brake lines....rear view mirror installed.... next will be the radiator hoses to the engine then install engine and radiator.
