I have a 54 Chevrolet 2 door that needs a headliner. Is there a source for the tack strip that goes, on the roof body section, in front and across the top of the door. The windlace is tacked to that strip. The original material was some kind of pressed paper or fiber. It was about 1/2" x 1/4" x 4'. Is a tack strip available that is NOT plastic. Thanks, LC

my 54 wagon was done with the old cardboards. try the oldest upolsterer shop in your area.

i have many times used wood.you cut to the dimension then it will usually bend to most contours. if you must go ver too much curve then cut in short sectins and add some screws.been a trimmer for 46 years.good luck

Did you find what you were looking for?

No. The man that is doing the headliner says he is going to make his own, out of pressed cardboard. All we could find is the plastic. Thanks, LC

Hey that's a very interesting site link.
thanks for posting it. It is always good to have as many links possible to restoration sites.....

Thanks for posting the link to the restoration company. That was entirely appropriate for our site. As long as you aren't promoting the sale of tennis shoes, wallets or belts (like a recent posting), then it's all in support of the hobby.

Thanks again.
