Piped . That is a great choice of material for a headliner. Ron

I like the piping, but my preference would be without the piping.....I'm plain and boring, I like vanilla ice cream.

1 vote for the piping from me.

Keep the votes coming. Stuff the ballot box!

Finally found a headliner retaining strip out of a 51 Chevy. Of course it's the wrong shape. Also found out the '39 didn't use headliner retaining strips. Stumbled on "wire-on" a form of windlace that has wire in it and folds over itself. A newer version is called Hidem Gimp. Learning more all the time.

I just watched a video on Hidem Gimp, that stuff looks nice and clean, and a real time saver

During the Caronavirus (in my case coorsvirus) I got plenty of time but the gimp stuff looks like it will solve the staple issue. Made a small sample from the vinyl color I will be using and it went well. Had to go to Harbor Freight for yet another stapler with a long snout to get in the middle of the "gimp". They were sold out! Big run on honeydo tools. Ordered on line: question is, will the stapler come first or the golf course open???

Headliner prototype is up and, well, not going well. Needs to be more taught in all directions. Front to back need to be shorter and then the sides should fall into place. Maybe I can get a photo of the proto so that others can made a decision: Covid-19 or headliner.

Here is a sample of what I want for panel inserts. Settled on the size of diamond and thread color for the diamonds. Now the insert binding color. Blue seems a little more "finished" where the white bangs it out more. Votes?

I vote for the blue, but I am a "less is more", vanilla guy.

Is it me..I don't see a difference

RoarsRods · « **Reply #158 on:** April 27, 2020, 03:43:46 PM »

I vote for the blue also! Keeps it clean and simple! Just my thoughts!

TFoch · « **Reply #159 on:** April 27, 2020, 05:20:34 PM »

I vote for blue. Ed, if yoy look at the binding, one side has white thread the other has blue in both pictures.

Blue won! Here are the first two pieces, quarter and arm rest. Still have to make a pad for the arm rest. Glue spray guns have been holding me back. I had heard that a gravity feed gun would not work with the glue so I got a cheapo siphon gun and it didn't work. Then I got a bright idea, one of those electric jobs that sprays Latex. That didn't work and a bit*h to clean. Researched and got a cheapo gravity gun ($14). Works like a charm.

Just found out the golf course will be open tomorrow, already got a tee time for 8:30 AM. And so ends the upholstery blitz.

That turned out real nice. I like the way you incorporated the seatbelt.
