Marty I just did the headliner in a 1949. There is a manufacture that produces the headlinerut, sewn and ready to install for about $200. The problem is limited colors. I went to a local shop with a faded sample and foun a fabric that was very very close to texture and color. I bought the material, sent it to the manufacture who made the headliner out of the frabrac I sent him. The local shop also ordered wind lace. They installed the whole thing and it cost me $1,100. They came to my shop to install. I did not want to leave my freshly painted car at there shop to get scratched. Was also having starting problems at the time. So I probably paid more for labor than if I had taken the car to them.
I was very pleased with the outcome but it was pricy for a headliner in my opinion.
Here is how my bill broke out
Material $117
Wind lace $80
Headliner $188
Labor $600
Tax $75
Total $1,199
