anyone make e-body headliner for SE/Gran Coupe?

If I remember right, someone here on moparts was making a fiberglass version of the Challenger SE headliner in limited quantities. I always lose the contact info.

While you guys are searching, keep in mind that the barracuda gran coupe has a 2 inch shorter wheelbase and a different roof/rear window, so that won't work in a Challenger.

I forget the individual as well,...was going to make them if he had enough interest?.....I contacted him several times,...price IIRC was around $500 plus shipping,......I'm planning on tooling 2 molds this coming summer, 1 for the Challenger, 1 for the cuda,....Fiberglass construction, price is yet to be determined, as it'll be based on mat'l and labour,...I'm sure it'll be better than $500!,.....I have some nice original headboards to mold off of,....I plan on having them with no holes/cut outs for the overhead console, visors, etc,...but the areas will be visible in the finished peice should you decide to trim them out,....this is just incase you want a SE/GC headliner without the console

Does anyone think the console is worth making a mold of?,.....I have no intention of making the potmetal inserts or domelights,...If someone else has that in the works then a console would be an ideal addition,....as we all know that pressed fiberboard is absolutely horrible for attaching cloth and having it stay in place

Hi,

If you can make it, I will buy it! I already have a nice consolette and am trying to find the headliner board for my '71 'Cuda project. I'm in Massachussetts, so let me know if you need a testing mule for this.

Well, you'll definitely save a lot on shipping Paul,...as soon as the Global warming starts this summer, I'll be working on this project, as I have several E bodies I'd like to convert to the SE and GC headliners, and I feel a smooth fiberglass "backing board" is better suited for longevity in maintaining the appearance of a SE/GC headliner,....it will have the correct metal slotted recievers for the factory style clips to be used,........it was a project that I wanted to do last summer, but was sidelined due to an abundance of customers projects/orders......I'll list them on Moparts when they're ready, I only plan a small run of both Chall/Cuda

You guys need to check on the shipping for those things first. I had a perfect headliner for an SE Challenger that I sold. The shipping was going to be very expensive and the buyer just did not want to pay that much. It would not ship UPS because of size. He had me to cut it right down the middle and ship it that way! He said he would glue it back together.

......Mark, an item as big as a headliner board, is the equivilent of shipping a fiberglass hood, you can expect it to be truck freight, it'll range from $100-$200 to ship depending on location within the US48

If I remember the shipping was going to be in the $250 range and I had to charge something for a crate of some kind.

How does one identify the correct application? Is the attached for cuda or challenger?
Thanks

Just got back from checking info and looks like I'm still gonna be looking for one. If anything checks of for a good source, please let me know. I remeber when they did the a-body roofs and they were made of heavy plastic and were rolled up for easy, cheap shipping. Wonder if that could be done with an e-body headliner?

Does anybody know of a source for accurate material that gets glued to the headliner board?

Wow, who knew there'd be a market for these things? I couldn't give mine away at Carlisle back in the 90's.
