Will do, Kev.

I'll document the whole thing and put it on my project website.

Thanks for your helpful post.

I got some windlace samples from Kanter also, but they don't seem to be much of a match for the original. I've asked for some samples from a couple of other places.

I've been scared to do this job for a long time, but now that I'm into it some it doesn't look all that bad. It certainly looks like one of those jobs where patience will pay off.

Hello All,

I'm at the point where I'd like to attempt the replacement of the headliner in my 1949 22nd Series Deluxe Eight.

I see that Kanter, Fryer's and others sell pre-cut and pre-sewn material for this, and that there are replacement tack strips available. I also have read the section on this in the Packard service manual.

My question is for any of you that may have done this job yourself: Do you have any suggestions or ideas to offer to help me get started properly? Maybe avoid some pitfalls?

Thanks in advance,

Jay
