Also your in for a world of hurt with that headliner, I do upholstery for a living and rule #1 is never cover anything unless the material is wide enough. It's never gonna look right. Find something you like that is wide enough and have another go at it!
    Yeah I'm taking that advice and picking up some new headliner material today. I'm sure we can find something with a similar pattern.

    If it ever gets scratched up we'll just pop it out, give it a quick sanding and re-poly it.

        Nope, pine with a red chestnut stain. We were gonna use hardwood but we looked at the price and said lolno.

          Went with a different material that was wide enough to wrap the headliner. Looks fancy

              The car is going to look so much better with a set of nice fitting wheels. Got plans once the snow melts?

                  Headliner looks great! Nice work, wagon headliners can be a real pain.

                    Thanks! Plans are currently to get another drag dr-9 and run those for the summer with spacers, probably gonna paint over the gold, it doesn't match the gold on the body anyway. Fenders and quarters will get an aggressive roll/pull. Front will come down a total of 1.5" and back will come down another 3/4" or so.

                    Thanks! We're doing what we can on a limited budget but I'll be starting a new job on monday or tuesday hopefully so money won't be quite as tight.

                    Yeah the back was a lot easier, I was just careful to hide any bad wrinkles under the sun visors, there were some parts that just couldn't smooth out with the choice of fabric.

                      Update- Just put some new stereo goodies in the car. Four 6.5" Rockford Fosgate Prime's for the door speakers, a Clarion xr2210 amp, and a JVC 12" DRVN sub. Already had a Kenwood Cd/Usb/Aux reciever in the car. Install went great! sounds really, really nice. The clarion amp is matched perfectly to the sub and sounds awesome.

                            You have no clue how badly I want to do this. I was already in the market to buy one as my DD. Now this.. This has made me motivated!
