I def don't need any more practice than I have right now. If it ever fails again ( it better ****ing not) then I'll just paint it or rip it out all together. I'll never upholster another one. It sucks. Maybe it's easier with the foam backed stuff but I wanted to kill myself with this fabric. Next is Hellas, spring spacers and finally replacing those rear retaining bolts for the springs. Thatll take a day for all that I figure.
Chris even if you offered to fly me to ak, I still wouldn't do it. Headliners suck. But I'm hoping my wrinkles will work themselves out or steam out.

FYI, if you search the REAL threads that tell you how to do it the RIGHT way (not my way) you need a fabric at least 63" wide to have one continuous run from front to back. Otherwise you need to do what i did and hide a seam behind the map pockets or something.

Looks like a good job, though. Did it stiffen up the headliner any?
