Hi Guys

I'm looking to buy a new headliner for my 40 coupe and wonder if you can give me any recommendations on which is the best one to get.

thanks

That is the place. They are 2 companies now and you can get pretty much what ever type of material you want for your car. They wre just original but you cannot beat their instrucions . My wife and i put in a headliner in our 47 coupe and we had never done one before. It turned out great.

I installed by LB kit in 1988. Turned out great. The entire interior kit was $550 then. Don't forget to allow extra material for the visor brackets to screw in tight as the material has to stretch. Also be sure to, install the dome light wiring first and consider what insulation you plan to use.

I,v had my 39 coupe headlining done 2 weeks ago,i was a bit nervous to do it myself because of the cutting round the rear window so I got an upholsterer to do it in my garage ,the instructions were great and in retrospect I could have done it myself ,don't cut anything till you are double sure ,it was part of the la baron bonny kit and excellent quality and I emailed them some questions and the after sale service was first class ........good luck

Also SMS auto fabrics.
They sell the same stock as LBB.
Use the shade that best matches the rest of the interior.
Get about 5 yards from memory so you have some spare.
