>>>I got my new headliner from Marino at Pantera East, and it was a perfect 
match for the original--he found the OEM manufacturer and was able to get them 
duplicated perfectly.

The problem, of course, is that then the rest of the similarly-upholstered 
pieces were yellowed with age.  Kirk Evans was visiting and said, "shoot, I can 
fix that easily".  So I packed up all the pieces (and the sunvisors) and 
shipped them off to him, along with a swatch from the new headliner for 
color-matching.  In a week or so, I got everything back and it was PERFECT.  I don't know 
how he did it, but he sure done dood it!

Getting everything to line up again is a real chore though--it can be done by 
one, but it is infinitely better to have two people (although one can be very 
non-mechanical--basically a human C-clamp! :>)  )
