What exactly did you do for the headliner? Is it still a bow type or is it a board style now? Been thinking about this myself...

Anyhow, nice looking car. Even nicer that you actually drive it
It's still the bow type. I used the old factory headliner as a pattern, but had it re-sewed with modern day materials.

I don't drive it that much at all, but I try to. I have had a newly rebuilt 700r4 sitting in my shed for two years now. I just need to find time, but I already know it's not happening this year. I am putting 3.42's in the rear before summer though

Need to get better mileage for the Rod Run in October
