| clear, chrome paint on back.
I can have the front chromed also for the Desoto/Chrysler crowd(it will be more but it will be paint and clear coat.
That electrochroming on plastic is cost prohibitive... |

Location: Montreal, Canada | Hey Mike! Thanks for doing this project, I am sure it will be very useful for a lot of people, but I will have to back out for the pair of strips I wanted, since I sold both my coupes.
I might get another one, but I don't know when and I don't know if it will need the retainer strips. |

| np at least the antenna base project is now complete and I can focus on the headliner strips now.
I am also looking at the perforated hardboard headliners for Plymouths and dodges. I can get large paper printed up and attached for the dodge effect pattern. |

Oh, one of my pals is restoring a 1958 Dodge Custom Royal and I know he would kill for such a repro! Great idea, Mike! |

| I also need two strips, I assume you are referring to those two strips that run the length of the headliner and hold the three sections together?
