Omar you are a surgeon. So looking forward to you completing & cruising this 428 XL. Our family owned a new black 4- door 64 HT Galaxie, thanks to my urging & a Ford brochure that showed the black on red 4 door HT. Unfortunately it had only the mediocre 352 motor... I begged for at least the 390 to no avail. Later after my father had passed away, I was able to help /talk my mother buy a 66 428 2 door LTD. She never knew it, but I held the local speed record for the 21 miles to the next town, with two "speed curves" for 9 minutes 20 seconds. Later I came back to the town & special ordered an Acapulco Blue 69 Mach1 Cobra Jet from the little Ford dealer in the little Saskatchewan prairie town of 2500 people. 😀Yes, I am that old!
Haha that’s really cool, sounds like you have a lot of memories with these now considered classics. I’m sure they don’t cost the same as they did back then either haha
So awesome I am replacing my headliner too. I haven’t got any of my materials for hardware yet, but this video is definitely helping me out. Thanks again my friend.
It coming together real fine Omar and this video is two months old so I imagine when I get a new video you have all the interior done now You just can’t beat an old school head liner hey
No problem! That glue works really well. A big big tip is to use pencil if you’re drawing the outline. If you use a marker it will seep through the fabric!
Great job on all the work you have done. I was wondering if you could tell me the order for the headliner support rods go in. I have a 61 fairlane and when I got it the guy had already to removed the headliner and the bars
You will have to install them by themselves first to make sure they all reach the very top of the roof. Then try it out with the headliner and install the rods in the holes and pull the fabric to see how it looks. Sort of have to do it as you go.
I believe it’s all held in by screws. Once I start on the interior I will install it as I need to order the package tray and paint it. I’m sure I will show it once I get there, hopefully soon!
I know this video is 2 years old and I don't wanna sound like I'm "monday morning quarterbacking" but after doing some research come to find out they sell a headliner tacking strip. Summit racing sells a roll of 3/16" x 11/16" x 15' semi-hard rubber strip and goes for $25.79. It's a multi-purpose material so it can be used for different applications.
From what I remember, when you pull the fabric all the rods will be slightly pulled forward as well. It’s important to have those two small hangers on the last bow so that it won’t flip the bow and keep everything tight
Looking good! You've come a long way on this car!
Thanks! Haha yes, I’m chipping at it bit by bit. But it will get done!
I really like these cars. It looks like new...great job
Great job on the head liner!! Maybe I won’t be nervous to try mine now!!
Thanks for all your videos Omar. It helps me on my 64 seeing how stuff comes apart and goes back together. Looking good Bro.
Thanks! I try to talk about the disassembly or assembly in the videos, I figure it would save some time for other people
Thanks man, I have a ‘67 which im getting ready to do a headliner on and this gave me a good idea on the process.
Wow for not being a pro interior guy you did a great job. Looks great.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
DIY is so rewarding when you achieve results like this, 👍 well done.
Thanks!

Excellent job! Give's me the motivation to try myself now. Thank you for posting this video sir.
It’s definitely do-able. This was my first time, just take your time on it and it will come out great
Nice work congrats
Thanks!
Great job.👍
Thanks!
Great job mate. Looks fantastic, You did what Gasmonkey hardly ever did.lol
Hahaha thanks appreciate it
Omar, that really looks sharp. I think I would have glued some insulation to the roof first, but that's me. Keep sending us updates on your progress.
Hey bro, very impressed with both your work and explanation, good job.
Appreciate it!
Great job Omar!
Thank you!
So awesome I am replacing my headliner too. I haven’t got any of my materials for hardware yet, but this video is definitely helping me out. Thanks again my friend.
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions
Nice work!
Thanks man appreciate it!
Excellent job!
It coming together real fine Omar and this video is two months old so I imagine when I get a new video you have all the interior done now
You just can’t beat an old school head liner hey
Thanks! I have most of the dash pieces done. Unfortunately still a parts shortage. So it will be a while until a new interior video will happen.
Better than alright! Looks amazing. Love your skills development - beyond what I think I could accomplish.
Hahaha thanks! Appreciate it. You can do it too! Just take your time on it and it will come out great
Glad to see you are back love your videos
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Awesome job, Omar!
I need to do the sail panels on my '65 Impala SS. Now I know how. Thank you. :)

Looks great,

Awesome!

Sewing the channels and the bows? Did you curve as the bow are or sew straight across?
Very helpful and it looks great! Did your rear window trim require any special type of clips or did the holes in the trim match up?
I believe it’s all held in by screws. Once I start on the interior I will install it as I need to order the package tray and paint it. I’m sure I will show it once I get there, hopefully soon!
How do u make the curve. Is it straight across?

I need to replace my sail panels. Where did you buy the panels and the material?
Got the sail panels from jegs, and material on eBay. I have the links if you go In the description
They all go forward?

Where did you get the headliner from?
If you check the details on the video I posted all the links
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie thanks I totally saw them after the post!
@@gregoryperkins7352 haha no problem! The material is really nice quality. Definitely period correct
With few exceptions, I'm only good at taking the parts out.
Lol
