She's still the same 'ol fugly primer beast. I did put new carpet in. Needs seats recovered and a correct 1-piece 73 headliner, then it's just paint. I've got a helmet cam, maybe i'll pop that on the dash today. I've gotta come up with an errand to run--my truck is out of service at the moment so the formy is doing daily driver status ...ohhh the hardship ...)))

I bought a 74 FB about 20 years ago. Included with the car was a new in the box headliner kit. The previous owner had bought the headliner and then found out it wasn't correct for a 1974. I was told it was for a 1973. It's a kit of some sort & has the ribs & material & clips. I don't know if you would call it one piece headliner or not?? It is white or off white. If you want to know more about it I'll pull it out & have a look at it. Let me know.

The headliner you're refering to is for a very early '73 that used the bows with fabric(material). Later in the year, they changed over to the one piece style. It might not be correct for his car depending on the production date. Also they are more difficult to install than the one piece.

thanks for the offer, but that's not the correct one for mine. At times though, i have considered going to the bow/perforated vinyl style. I'd have to pick up the correct trim pieces along with it. I actually prefer the look of that type over the carpeted one piece.
