Can you put a bow-type fabric headliner in a '73-up car that came with one of those cardboard headliners? Needing to put a rollcage in one and I'm wondering how to get a headliner back in when I'm done.

Re: Question for Mopar A-Body guys
I have been curious about that also, but I am not sure they have the punchout's for the bow's or clip's, I put a roll cage in my 76 and ended up sanding and painting the exposed metal, only thing I hate is it get's soooooo hot in the pit's and staging lane's, and I think a liner would help that a lot.

I put the roll bar in my 55 with the headliner in place. Hold some sheet metal above the weld to protect the headliner.

Re: Question for Mopar A-Body guys
Yes and no. I did this in my 73' Scamp I used to have because mice got into it and chewed the hell out of the cardboard headliner. I just grabbed all the parts from a dart parts car I had and everything needed to mount it was already there on teh scamp. A friend of mine tried it on his 75' valiant 4dr and it didn't have the mounts for the bows.

Re: Question for Mopar A-Body guys
Mine seems to be pretty much cardboard (it's a '78) and wasn't too hard to get out in one chunk. I'm sort of goofy about trying to keep everything in one piece as I remove it, as I've had to scrounge for some odd piece or another, and I just KNEW that someone had it under their bench or someplace. So if I can, I try to be the source for such bits. Have two good rear view mirrors for a '78 and a NEW OEM spare tire!

Re: Question for Mopar A-Body guys
Dave,
Here is an idea for you. Did it on my Dart. Worked pretty well.
Keep the cardboard one in there. Weld in your rollcage, then go to a place like Joanne Fabrics. there is a fabric that is the same as they use on headliners in modern cars. Get some 3M spray glue. Cut, trim, glue and you have your own custom headliner.
