| i was on track to make them, too expensive had to buy pallets, Just take perforated vinyl and glue it on like mopar mel will sell you for 500$ and it will fall off.
I also looked into making plastic ribs. I could check into the price again. Maybe talk to big m or Benny Buckner for a set of originals? |

Location: MN | Mike, that would be great if you could check the price again on the headliner strips. I was ready to order a set from Andy until I saw a post on the facebook page a few weeks ago. In that discussion, there was interest for about 10 sets but it sounds like Andy doesn't want to do another run. It looks like there was a lot of interest for your strips on this forum a few years ago, especially if they're correct with the clear material and reverse chrome painted. |

| you can make a "similar" board... just get perforated vinyl and glue it to some new board... You cant get that pattern though? I guess you could take it to silk screener and have the pattern put on the vinyl. |

Thanks for the info.I’ve never heard of Andy in Germany. Is he on Forward Look or Facebook? I’m not on Facebook.Glad to know someone was making these but that’s a shame to hear he’s apparently out and not making another run.

Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | <p>any ideas where to purchase the headliner board? i can get the foam back vinyl with perforated hole to clue onto board from sms and others . the board is the hard part to find. I was think about using home depots vinyl shower board board , comes in 4x8 sheets 1/8" thick I think, smooth on one side are texture on the other side. flexible but sturdy .</p>

I'm not that that stage in my 60 wagon for headliner (smooth white perforated board on mine) and I hesitate to post, because I never finished going down this rabbit hole... (So I apologize if this is not accurate or current)... But doesn't REM automotive sell the headliner material, not 100% same pattern, but close. They are wholesale, and I think that's where Kramer gets their headliner board. I contacted Kramer some years ago about buying sheets, but show season was gearing up and they were too busy, and it's been on my back burner since. (Nick, did we talk about this?)

| REM makes reproductions of the boards for 60s b-body wagons. I was actually supposed to provide them my samples from my 57 Dodge wagon at Carlisle this year, but in the hectic uncertainty of the show I forgot to bring them with me. I'm going to ship my patterns to them.
If my brother ever gets around to working on his 60 Polara wagon, I can give REM those samples too.
I've seen an REM set in a 64 Fury wagon, they looked pretty good. |
