Headliner replacement
 
Where can you find the very best replacement headliner tried taking mine out and it broke into 4 pieces had the idea in mind to just restore it but that’s out the door so I’m in the market for one what are your recommendations I want as close to factory as possible as my cars is a all original show car thanks for the help!

You can get the repro from any number of places, that doesn't fit very well. Or you can find another decent OEM and re-cover it

if u have all the pieces, that stuff soaks up fg resin really well, then u can reinforce it with a little fg cloth on the inside and make it werk - if u have all the little pieces.....

Mine was a hardtop and the dog ears (seat belt pass through area) were rough after removing and PO tried spray adhesive on the rest... The recovery room in Vermont restored my original and even found a near exact headliner fabric which matched up nicely. Was like $300 for the job but he was adamant the reproduction wouldn’t cut the mustard. Either find a guy who can fix or find a good used original if your going for the all original look for shows etc.

are all reproduction headliners made by acme and if so there would be no difference if i bought from rock auto instead of hawks right?

Hi
I recovered mine last winter,not really that difficult,and turned out nice.
The board can be repaired with fibreglass ,and the material is easily sourced
Good luck
