Ron, if there’s enough time to pick up a can before Matthew’s departure (I forget if you had to send away for it, or not), I’ll gladly PayPal you for it – just tell me the amount.

Thanks

It is mail order, if we order today it’ll be here by the end of the week. If you send me a Paypal payment of $ 0.79 you will get it delivered at your door on June 26th 😃

That can’t be right; that would be €0.00000000021. I guess we’ll have to take this up privately…

I am sure it is right, our tickets were purchased in $$ so they were almost free (€ 0.0003) so no shipping costs, and the Unipol is a gift for your hospitality. And on top of that I will instruct Matthew to use a lot of it on Faulkner. Don’t forget your eye protection when we go to Carlisle 😆

Okay, the secret language has to be revealed!!! (yuk yuk)  
The growing expectation of fun times at Carlisle is quite obvious!  
Living on a "highway s I do, there are many drawbacks, but when good weather occurs, the Orting Loop is on many classic car owners’ must-do list. Today in five minutes span, I saw portions of a Mustang group go thru, also a Corvette group, and a You Decide group…several 50’s Chevys, an AMC Pacer!, and a early 50’s Plymouth.

He’s talking about the need to wear shades while driving amongst all that gleaming chrome, Roger. That Unipol really is amazing stuff!

> I called a headliner guy that was recommended to me. He told me to put the headliner back in! He wants to see how it comes apart. I told him, it was never in right to begin with… Back to wondering if I shouldn’t get some ABS panels and redo it myself; I have the material I want to use. But I think I’m going to leave it to the experts, and put it back together as he asked – using the rechromed siderails, of course.

…and it’s all back together! Here’s a rather bad picture; but the old left and right panels are up (the luan center is a candidate for the trash), and all the upper interior chrome is back in, including the rechromed upper siderails:

 ![IMG00053.jpg](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/2X/3/37ef42f9e223b449c01c2948ce9f080411aa5986.jpeg)  
I have an extra Caravan strip, so I cut it into 2-inch clips to hold the headliner up. I’ll cut the two remaining to the correct length after I paint them, and get the car back from the headliner guy.

I got nervous about how much material I had ordered – I measured the width in the back of the car, and it’s wider than the roll I have! I didn’t remember how I measured when I bought the roll last year – was I expecting to cut three strips out of it? Marie and I rolled it out – whew! It’s just a couple inches longer than twice as long, so if he cuts it into four quadrants, the length will be just long enough – with plenty of width, and a quadrant to spare.

Tomorrow I’ll put the chrome moldings on that I glued the cat whiskers on, and Faulkner will be ready for the guy to take it all apart again 😈 But first, a trip to the mechanic to get some things fixed…

Matthew, there’s a chance Faulkner won’t be here on your arrival. It all depends on how long it takes the guy to put the headliner in. But for sure, by the time you’re done playing tourist, and have returned to Philly.

Thanks, Roger. That’s the old headliner, stripped of the cheap foam fabric the previous installer had put on. I put the old panels back in so the new guy (who will make new panels) knows how it comes apart…

Dan - My headliner panel boards are in pretty good shape so I plan on painting them with SEMS white vinyl paint. It worked very well on the door panels of my 60 Desoto.

Well, I went over to Jersey today to visit the interior guy. His estimate, using _ **my** _ material: $1500! 👿👿👿

Fowgedabowdit. I called Ed Ober’s friend – the one who rescued my door panels – and, though he’s very busy, he agreed to make new panels for me and cover them with my material, if I bring the existing panels to him. So, that’s what I’m going to do – and install them myself.

About 3 years ago I bought some small stuff (windshield washer squirters/bases and a foot unit for my 60 Dodge Dart from Mopar Mel no problem, but I got burned $1000 for a gas tank from him for my Fury that was worth … maybe a couple of hundred. I was relatively new to the hobby then. Some buyers on the FL have said that Mel does occasionally have good stuff but I will never buy from him again. This sort of behavior HELPS NONE OF US. A …

Dan,

If you get the material I am sure Matthew and Andre can fix your headliner for less than $1500. with the right material it isn’t that much work, it can be done within a day! I wonder what this headliner guy is making per hour.
