Re: Dan's '46 - Some Small Stuff Done Today.
K-Ten,
I already have the two piece cardboard set from Carter's. What I don't have is the middle bar necessary to install it. I've collected all the other interior metal trim except that one piece. I understand the center piece makes one of the cardboard pieces slide into it and "steps on" the other piece. For anyone questioning the use of the one piece vs. the two piece headliners, my '46 truck has a '41 cab - evidenced by the bolt in rear window - unique to '41 as I understand it.
I've also read it is necessary to wet the cardboard and sort of shape it - something I'm NOT looking forward to. I've read you're supposed to wet it with a mix of water and (I think) vinegar?
At this point I'm planning on making something to use for the center metal trim out of some kind of stainless strip that is made for vinyl flooring or a carpet edging. After it is all fitted, I will take it down and spray adhesive Naugahyde onto it.
