will it have to be replaced before i try to do the headliner?

Ed...what is it?

Maybe a picture would help.

sorry i mean the windlace arround the doors

You got me on that one. Never heard the term before. Can you show me this afternoon?

Is this the stuff you're referring to?

What year Pontiac do you own???

Yup. He'* found it for $1.50 per yard. Don't know if it'* color-matched. He'll have to remove 2 screws from each of the B and C Pillar trim panels (which are actually METAL) but it looks fairly straightforward.

The interior is in remarkable condition, btw, and the motor PURRS.

would it be acceptable to make this a muscle wagon in getting attached to the feel of driving the old car
