The project is done.  I probably spent 25 - 30 hours altogether.  A big part of that is the tight space I was working in.  The other part is my aching bones.  Everything posted as advice turned out to be true, overhead work takes it out of you, the sail panels were definitely the worst part, and aIl the maneuvering inside the car was a pain,   As I mentioned I also added the Frost King insulation under the carpet. That turned out to be an easy project, we'll see how it works.  No time to drive it today, cloudy and rainy.  The biggest mistake I made was cutting the sleeves too short.  If I had to do it over I would cut them so they were nearly to the tack rail where the bows are inserted.  Not the best job but it will have to do.

I've started replacing the headliner in my 63.  Tore the old one out today along with all the mouse droppings etc.  ( Dirty Job)  My plan is to start at the rear when installing the new one and work forward.  I've had it laying out over the roof of the car for about 2 weeks to try and get the wrinkles to relax as much as possible.  Then will use a heat gun on the low setting to get out any remaining ones when installed.  I numbered the bows as I removed them.  Any other hints before I get started from those who have done it before?
