ok...here is a trick my uncle tought me.
i put a sunroof in my 90 festy (never had one so i had to cut it out) thus cutting my headliner. i cut the hole in the head liner a little too big so i had to go back and paper mashay (cant spell it) around the sunroof and trim it all up to fit snug. now for the cosmetic part. i took my headliner down and debated for a while about what to do to make it look better. i got ahold of some 3/4" soft foam polly from my uncle (have no clue where you can get it if you want to do this) i laid it out on my headliner and drew flames on it (just regular "hot rod" flames) i then cut the flames out of the foam....all one piece by the way. i stripped my old headliner lineing off. i bought a cheep can of spray glue and sprayed my headliner where the flames were going and placed the flames on the headliner. (**NOTE below**) then i sprayed the entire headliner and foam flames and covered it with a dark blue felt. the finished product......i have 3D flames in my headliner that look realy sweet!!!!!!
NOTE: to make the flames flow better with the headliner....after you have your flames cut out...take a SHARP razorblade and make a 45* cut around the entire edges of the flames to kinda round things off a bit
if you want to do this to your headliner and dont understand what i wrote ^ there...email me and il try to do better
you dont have to do flames by the way. my uncle did a verry intricate ford logo in his 58 ford pickup
sorry so long
