Hanno,

Thanks. It is encouraging to be speaking of the "finishing" touches. I am sure that whatever goes in as lining will look the part as long as it is green. Later I hope to include a pic of the liner material for comparison. If I recall correctly, there is a pattern to it - more later.

I think you can get it here:

A friend of mine is restoring a 1952 GMC suburban and inquired about a headliner. This company claimed that they could supply the cardboard type material but you would need to cut it to fit. My friend ended up buying the correct headliner as a precut kit in the states.
