Headline Bow ID, 1965 Dart 2 Door Hardtop

Thanks. Others also said "no color" for #5 so perhaps the purple flakes off or fades. I only noticed black on the other side for #6, but perhaps it faded too. I cleaned rust off mine and painted with Rustoleum "For Galvanized" spray (bright) since they appeared zinc-coated. I covered the colored ends, but figured the lengths are best for posterity since distinguishable ("along bow" might be better since curvature could change). You want them smooth so the headliner can move around on them when installing.

I'm getting close to installing the headliner. Had to make new sail panels first since couldn't find the originals (recall tossing since not enough left for a pattern). I cut from thin ABS panel, just winging what it should look like (couldn't find any clear photos). Appears the panel is secured by 3 holes in the body, plus the bottom is clamped by the large curved sheet-metal piece. I popped two square plastic "license plate holders" in the oblong holes (for a thru-screw) and will use a door panel clip for the round hole. Not quite right, but "should work". I'll cover the panel with thin felt so the screws and clips aren't noticed. My 1965 C-body is different. The headliner stops at the top of the sail panel, tucking in behind. You cover the sail panel with headliner material and snap it on separately. Don't recall how the panel is secured (did it myself in 1992). Perhaps someone could do the same on an A-body, though the factory didn't. Need to get the headliner done so I can reinstall the rear window (out to paint) since rain will soon return to California and car is currently outside.
