the perforated vinyl ABS backed 1 piece headliner with no seatbelt cutouts is not a custom order, PUI has a part# you can use to order through summit, i bought one for my 72 since i like that style more than the original fabric style in earlier cars, have yet to install it though since it needs some custom trimming of the front/rear metal trim and adapting the plastic side trims to a car that used the metal type. I have the part # if you decide to go that route.

but if youre cardboard backer is in good shape its better to use that, it will fit much better and you just need to buy the roll of perf vinyl to glue to the cardboard.

You are right, the first one I orders years ago was a custom order from PUI, and I think I may have been the first.
Ames sells the material to repair these and I like the 3m brand extra hold spray glue.

i saw the ABS no seatbelt headliner mentioned on here years ago so it may have been from you. mine is still unopened sitting in my basement, was focused on getting the engine built & installed as well as car painted before final interior things, hope to get to it this season.

i used the original cardboard backer in my 81 & glued new padded back perf vinyl to it, turned out excellent. i used the 3m spray glue too, has held up for 12 years now with no signs of sagging.
