Getting ready to install my first one. Any words of encouragement or offers of friendly advice? It's from TMI and yes I will have assistance. Thanks,

Hello Bill...the only advise i can give is make sure the headliner is WARM....it will "stretch out" better.....if it is stretched out nice and tight while cold, come summer time you will develop big ole wrinkles...good luck J

.................John Henry has a good section on the headliner installation in his '57 at
