67gtocharlie, I recently put a new headliner in my 64. The white material is the insulation between the roof and the headliner and should glue to the roof, between the braces. I used spray on adhesive and sprayed both the roof and material, then put it in place. Make sure you place it where you want it the first time as it is a bitch to reposition.

I started in the center when I installed the headliner, putting in the bows first, stretching and aligning before applying any glue. I then glued over the rear and front window, starting at the center and working out.

I then started glueing the edges over the doors starting at the front of the car and working towards the rear. I then glued the corners at the top of the windshield and under the panels(if you have them) at the rear. The glue I used for this was a contact cement made by Locktite. It comes in a brownish bottle with a cap with the brush attatched. It my take a while since the brush is small but it worked out really well and held tight, I didn't even use any clamps anywhere while installing.

When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog that barks all the time run to the end of his chain and gag himself.

Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "Take two aspirin," and "Keep away from children."
