Will spend weeks getting body panels just so. Sees some wrinkles in the headliner and says ehhh.... Those are ok! Just found that funny. Guess we all have those things that get us more than others. Great to see the progress continue. Keep it up.
I may have not mentioned it before but, I have done autobody and frame repair for 46 years before retirement. And I was glad when manufacturer's came out with the one piece "hard board" fuzzy headliner. They were always a real blessing in disguise as I also hated any cloth headliners. Your body "re-working" is spot on. I have also had to re-work Chinese replacement sheet metal panels. Especially when working on insurance jobs, the ins. companies never paid enough to make those panels look right, till one day when I put the panels on (to make a point) to let them see what the crappy replacement parts really look like that they ordered. After that fiasco they started ordering "new" manufacturers sheet metal, it was way cheaper and looked much better. I commend you sir on your meticulous attention to detail, and I loved every episode produced. When I worked in a classic shop I was glad I had all the time in the world to do the job right the first time. Did you know that Japan and China would buy all the old worn out dies from U.S. car companies to make the parts that they sell back to us? You get an "A" plus from me. Congratulations on a job well done!
You do awesome work and your videos have helped me out several times in my restomod project. I see some thumbs down on your like, dislike buttons, can’t understand why anyone would hit the thumbs down! I would give you more but I only have 2....thumbs up’👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Barry for these 3 beautiful videos. I have to do the same on my mustang and I will follow your example. it is always useful to follow what you are doing. You have the greeting of France✌✌
Just finished installing one, your video was a great help, didn’t have any old pinch weld trim around, note book binder clips worked great. Thanks for Great video
Barry, no idea why you'd bother with the older style headliner - just a huge pita and Mustang to Fear's setup is so much better in every way - looks, more headroom, etc... but we love you for doing it nonetheless :) !
Great video. I have seen headliners installed most of these installs use the heat gun before final gluing. Just a thought. Material expands with heat and contracts when cooling. Your process is great information.
Great set of videos, very informative and easy to follow. At first I was apprehensive about installing the headliner, watched the videos, got some tips and now I have a new headliner installed. Easy (it really was)
Thank you for sharing sir, I think you did a wonderful job. Helped me with my confidence, going to give it a go myself. Keep up the good work, your videos were inspiring and extremely helpful. God bless !!
Looks fantastic. It honestly made me sick to my stomach to take mine out because it was FLAWLESS and the factory matting looked like it was installed yesterday. Had to get to the rust though. The sun will tighten that right up.
It looks really good. I will have to play this back when I get to installing mine. Park it outside for an hour or two and the summer heat will help you with the wrinkles.
What a great job you have done! Love the tips and tricks you have shown us all on installing the headliner! Jade is really coming together and looking good! Big Thumbs Up Barry!!!
I've seen gents create a great looking exterior but should have left the interior especially the headliner to a professional...like this installation-great work.
I use the medium size binder clips (a lot) to hold the headliner in place instead of windlace. It allows you to make adjustments more easily. I get the entire headliner clipped down before applying any contact cement.
This is my approach to it also, my question is how do I avoid the wrinkles at the bows bend I'm worried to keep cutting back... what do you think? Should I cut until it doesn't wrinkle up when stretched, whats the original headliner look like installed.
@@codyblack9157 I cut back the bow sleeves a little at time until the wrinkles are gone at each bow. I will normally ding the metal above the rod hole so the sleeve will slide down as much as possible.
@FE428Power I will give that a shot! I thought using adhesive on the first go was risky so am doing the test fit and am seeing some wrinkle just around the bows I will try that first thing in the am, have you had to use a heat gun, does it actually work, and how much.
You obviously did your best and it makes you wonder how the guys on an assembly line knocked these out back in the day. Do you think it would make any difference if you had a helper (one stretch and one install the pinch flange seal)?
After watching a number of videos about reassembling the windows in my '66, I thought, "some old woman did a couple a hundred a shift of these back in the day." So I put the door together and back apart a dozen times so that when it's painted I won't damage it. I can do it now in under fifteen minutes. Perhaps this is something that could benefit from such an effort.
You need to use and trust your glue more. Glue is all you need to tighten that up. Also a heat gun or steamer. That softens the liner and when it retracts on cooling, it’ll pull the wrinkles out
What did you do at the bottom of the sail panels along the package tray? Not where the hooks are.......but right beside the package tray. There is no way to attach it to anything to keep it tight.
It.always.helps...to.place.the.headliner.out.in.the.hot.sun...for.about..twenty.min..before.you.start.to.install.
I like the longer video, which showed more steps. Thanks!

You're headliner looks great and I agree about a show car the only one to enjoy it is you definitely two thumbs up 👍 👍

Thank you sir.
jade is 53 years old,shes bound to have a few wrinkles ; )
looking good
Wow, very detailed, great 3 headliner videos

Barry the sun heat will do the rest. Perfect work
Awesome!!!
I probably couldn't have done a better job on your headliner.good job!
Thank you Barry for these 3 beautiful videos. I have to do the same on my mustang and I will follow your example. it is always useful to follow what you are doing. You have the greeting of France✌✌
I put a TMI one piece head liner in my 66, it looked pretty good.
Just finished installing one, your video was a great help, didn’t have any old pinch weld trim around, note book binder clips worked great. Thanks for Great video
Thanks again dude ! appreciated .. now feel more confident on doing my own !
Barry, no idea why you'd bother with the older style headliner - just a huge pita and Mustang to Fear's setup is so much better in every way - looks, more headroom, etc... but we love you for doing it nonetheless :) !
I like the look. I may consider MTF in the future.

If you cut the white material on both sides about 1/2 inch it allows you to stretch the seams.
Looks great, they are no hard to do, just be careful like you mentioned & take your time.
I have installed a few headlines and it always surprised how well it came out 👍
What a great job you have done! Love the tips and tricks you have shown us all on installing the headliner! Jade is really coming together and looking good! Big Thumbs Up Barry!!!
Yes, I'm a fan.
I've seen gents create a great looking exterior but should have left the interior especially the headliner to a professional...like this installation-great work.

@@codyblack9157 rarely use a heat gun
@FE428Power it's winter here in Utah. is the temperature important at all? Should I be heating up my garage??
You obviously did your best and it makes you wonder how the guys on an assembly line knocked these out back in the day. Do you think it would make any difference if you had a helper (one stretch and one install the pinch flange seal)?
It would be better with 2 people for sure.
After watching a number of videos about reassembling the windows in my '66, I thought, "some old woman did a couple a hundred a shift of these back in the day." So I put the door together and back apart a dozen times so that when it's painted I won't damage it. I can do it now in under fifteen minutes. Perhaps this is something that could benefit from such an effort.
Is there really such a thing as a perfect wrinkle free headliner!
Looks good too bad I was not there but I have learned over time anyway on Mopars the material tightens over the weeks and months after installed.
You need to use and trust your glue more. Glue is all you need to tighten that up. Also a heat gun or steamer. That softens the liner and when it retracts on cooling, it’ll pull the wrinkles out
Is there a downside to using the wind lace?
I don’t care about the wrinkles they came elite wrinkles!
What did you do at the bottom of the sail panels along the package tray? Not where the hooks are.......but right beside the package tray. There is no way to attach it to anything to keep it tight.
All I know is I couldn’t have done it as well as you did
Question: In regards to the exposed metal that has surface rust, how important is it to sand, prime and paint that metal?
It’s not a bad idea. A lot of it depends on where you live. But a light coat of surface rust is a good thing in most cases. At least inside the car.
@@JoDaddysGarage Not sure I understand, how is any kind of rust a good thing?
What is the "winlay" you used to hold the material while the glue dried and to hold the fabric in place? Thank you.
That is windlace. It’s the piece that overlaps the pinch welds. They come in a long strip. I just cut my old one into short pieces.
Thank you so much for the quick response. Working on restoring a 66 Mustang. Your videos are going to help me tremendously.@@JoDaddysGarage
Ik vind het prachtig en misschien met z'n tweeën
Bedankt.
What glue are you using
Hmm. I thought I showed the glue in one of the videos. It was provided with the headliner kit, but I think basic contact cement works fine.
