1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
So, I went to today to have a look at the headliner (never had much time as I had to leave for work for a long shift today) and as far as I can tell my headliner bows are between 1 and 1 1/2 inches too far to the back. This matches almost perfectly with the amount of extra metal in the rear window opening that pulls the rear brace backwards. I figure if I can find a longer replacement I should be able to make replacements in the correct length. Just have to be careful bending the spring steel into shape not to break it. I plan to chop off a longer set and bend new "J" hooks by bending it around a piece of solid rod in the correct diameter. I figure if I can find more than one car in that yard I'll take a couple sets so I have spares in case they break during bending.
