I don't know if this is a tip or not but, when I did my headliner way back when They sent enough material that I could do my package tray and both sail panels. I removed the package tray, laid out my headliner material (face down), laid the tray face down on the material, outlined with a pencil, extended the outline about 2 inches and cut it out. On a clean flat surface I sprayed glue on the material. Sprayed the deck tray with glue. Waited a couple minutes and placed the deck down on the material. Pressed the tray evenly until it was completely adhered to. Took the extra material and folded it over the tray and stapled it fast. I let it dry overnight. (*$^@#!!)$%@(*&^{}":?>#*(*&^%$#@#$%^&*(). Looked great when I was done. The sail panels went pretty much the same way. Just my 2 cents.

That would make a nice looking package shelf. Much better than the old pressed board, IMO. Good work!

Bob, Did you have sail panels AND pressed board/fibreboard in behind the sail panels? I'm trying to figure out if I really need to replace the pressed board/fibreboard/cardboard, whatever it is, in my blue Champ car. I can't see why I need the darned things, unless I'm missing something in my reasoning process... which wouldn't be the first time!!

It does look better than the old board. I thought about getting a new one, or sanding and finishing mine but when I was re-organizing the garage (again) I found the extra material and thought what the heck. What makes it look nice is that the headliner flows right into the sail panels and rear package tray. That would make a nice looking package shelf. Much better than the old pressed board, IMO. Good work!

Jer, My sail panels are the painted cardboard. I was going to go with the plastic ones but decided to experiment a little with the material. I used the same process as the package tray. Since they are curved the material does tend to pull away because of the heat in the sun. I will probably have to pull them out again and touch them up but they do look nice.

Which years had the cardboard sail panels? When I get around to posting my roll cage photos, you will see the 2 piece package tray I made. Rear half drops in around bars and front half slides in before seat back goes in. NHRA requires metal firewall between trunk and interior.

Perhaps the 71 - 72 Plymouth B body will offer them up in plastic. Non SE Chargers only. Now, I'm certain those door & quarter panels work on a 74 Charger Hardtop. Nacho & Jer have been working on getting me to see what won't work (thanks guys) - but I know that black Sebring Plus door & quarter panels look sweet in a 74 Charger Herdtop with gold trim. If the quarter panels fit then the C Pillars must fit as well!
