Title: show some headliners please Post by: nicolas on June 03, 2008, 09:08:02 am i am looking for pics of headliners. in magazines they mostly forget to take pcs showing the headliners. i want them to have some new ideas for mine. i have a custom brown one, but the problem is the material is a bit too airtight and pulls itself down when the windows are opened. so i need to have it perforated or put in a pice of perforated fabric.
but i wanted to see what has been done to other cars, as i would like to keep it brown and not go back to the white stuff. thanks nicolas Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: Rennsurfer on March 04, 2009, 04:00:18 am Nicolas, what did you end up doing with your headliner?
This past Saturday, I decided to finally do something about my nasty stained white one. I dyed it black. Eventually, I'll have a white one installed... one with the correct stitching around the rear window. But for now, I'm very pleased how it came out. I also dyed the sun visors and replaced the white visor clips, coat hangers, and grab handles, and inner pop-out window seals (pinch welting) with black ones. Then, I dyed the ¼ window pop-out knobs to black. At least for the time being, the interior has a more uniform and finished look. In the distant future, after my built engine and transmission... I'll put the proper gray carpet and white headliner back in. For now, however, it looks as though Darth Vader has decorated the inner-sanctum of my '67. EVERYthing is black. Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: Rennsurfer on March 04, 2009, 05:04:08 am Even from the outside view, the new headliner color is noticeable. Here's a shot from today.

If not, post a pic of your Cal Look headliner Please.
Thank you... please drive through. ;D Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: ian c on March 04, 2009, 06:26:41 am its more rat-look than cal-look at the moment ::)
but as you can see from the pictures , at least my interior light works ;D (http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x216/iancross182/melissacam071.jpg) (http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x216/iancross182/melissacam070.jpg) Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: Rennsurfer on March 04, 2009, 06:32:18 am Not a problem, Ian... I have some left over black dye. I can drive over and take care of that. Speaking of your headliner, do you have plans for a mohair or are you going with something else?
Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: ian c on March 04, 2009, 06:34:39 am i'm thinking of getting a new black canvas outer from wolfsburgwest ,
and having the inside done in tiger print alcantara Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: Rennsurfer on March 04, 2009, 06:40:17 am Really and for true? That's savage.
Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on March 04, 2009, 06:44:22 am That headliner looks soooo much better! I like it! Say... my 15 year old dog has alot of gray hair around his nutsack area. Could you give me a few pointers on dyeing them? He dribbles a lot of pee in that region, could that be a problem? :-[
Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: ian c on March 04, 2009, 06:46:15 am when i did mine , i filled a small plastic bag with dye then attached it using an elastic band .
it was uncomfortable at first , but i grew to like it . Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: Rennsurfer on March 04, 2009, 06:55:03 am Sheesh... if it's the dog, let it be. If yours, shave. BAM! No more gray follicles.
;D Thanks, vdubkid. I like it a lot mo' better, now. Now people don't point and laugh 'cause my car looked like a hood/rat ride. Now, they just point and laugh at me and leave my car alone. Life is good. (edit) Oh and pee is a trippy thing. It's sterile, but acidic. Keep that in mind. If you get a telegram out to the right people... you'll get help. Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: ian c on March 04, 2009, 07:05:22 am i was thinking of going down to longbeach taking my motor out ,
but i can abandon that if you wanna bring your paint over on saturday or sunday ?? ( saturday is better as there is a family baptism i need an excuse to get out of / somebody to blame ) i really need to get going on the motor , but would rather get high on paint fumes . lemme know ....

Hi Fred! good job! what kind of paint did you used?

Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: BeetleBug on March 04, 2009, 11:36:02 am Sorry to say Fred but you could have removed those stains quite easily. My 67 was worse and it looks like new after a good scrub with this and a (very) small amount of water. As a bonus it smells really good and fresh afterwards;

As a bonus is smells really good and fresh afterwards ... I've found that wet wipes get rid of pretty much everything. Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: Rennsurfer on March 04, 2009, 15:17:57 pm This isn't my picture (thanks to Google), but I used the flat black. Took two cans.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/wizkiddrummer/intpaint2016.jpg) BeetleBug, I would've been shocked if that worked on my car. I've been detailing/cleaning cars since I was six years young and I usually get 95% of headliner stains removed. I tried even some very harsh chemicals, which typically work, on my car. But no luck. Thanks for that tip, though. Don't know if that product is available in the States, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

When I drove behind you guys I saw the headliner most of the time hanging down and two heads between their shoulders... LOL Title: Re: show some headliners please Post by: Gary Justus on March 05, 2009, 16:34:12 pm Hey, Nicolas!......Are you getting your fill of headliners ::)
