So my 51st is coming. Ol Lady want to do something. My Duster will be fleeting near done enough for me after I do a Headliner. Looks like there are a few available... what the heck do I go for? My seats and door panels are white, they have an off white liner on Rockauto... won't match... Any ideas or Suggestions are ALL APPRECIATED!!!!!!! Thanks Everyone!
 
Of the interior? There ain't a headliner on-board. Don't think I have the bows either? I'll post pics of what you think is required though?
 
Just a shot looking in. I just wanna see what the inside of the car looks like.

What color are the A pillar covers?
 
It's a modern version of the Dolly Parton song " Coat of many Colors" man, I miss all the patched up, 5 color body panels Muscle Mopars of days gone by...

I could get some Herbs Parts white and blast the trim... not sure if You seen my post last summer... I asked about White carpet... sad thing is. I KNOW my boot wearing *** would ruin the hell outta it... lol. Went w/ black.
 
That Being Said, and you seen in the Game way more than I, what is the deal w/ the molded headliners? I had one from a 71 Challenger Many moons ago, had a thing for lights up front... are they like that? And don't have the Bows for a soft top. So ANY Education You can give me will Be Appreciated greatly, Bro
 
Ok so I am assuming it's a cloth headliner with bows? From those fantastic pictures, it's just so hard to tell. LOL

In any event, I vote black too.

Well, I ain't got one, at all... and I don't have the metal Bows.. I'm more familiar with those, than the ones I seen on the web. Some kinda hardboard, or pressed board, padded foam backed vinyl coated crap... seems too modern... What do You Think? I mean, I ain't got to have one! Lol.

What year is yours again? I THINK Dusters came with both, depending on trim level. I would go with the board style.

Also here's a tip. Get you some cardboard and cut it loosely to fit. You can paint it black. Flip it over and paint it white. Then you can try both colors before you decide. I think white could look good, too.

Sorry, she's a 74
 
Cardboard ones are easy to use.

Cloth and the bows are a pain in the *** and not super easy to install but thats a better look. (In my opinion.)
 
Maybe you could get one of the guys that's good with photoshop to work you up one in black and white. But they'd need a really good picture.
 
You can buy the board plain without material attached. That's what I did. Than I glued down the correct foam and the material of my choice. You could so the same. I should have pictures in my build thread. My Duster is a 76 ad it had the hardboard. Also bonus of getting plain being able to test fit it and modify it to fit perfectly before covering it.

Here's a link to the board I used. The material I used was black fabric with foam attached.
