Stephen, if you send me your email address I can send you the same document I sent Tiger which gives a fairly comprehensive explanation of many aspects of old car upholstery, door cards and pockets, seating etc and includes head lining.
I have a ‘36 ARQ Ruby which I fully re-upholstered and can provide pics of my linings if so required.
Cheers Denis S
Just having read your post again Stephen, so further explanation is needed.
I had no interior on Ruby whatsoever, no headlining or interior woodwork of any kind.
Having searched long and hard I located a Ruby with the headlining missing and so took numerous photos of all the interior woodwork and winged it and made my own.
As for the headlining I followed the paper I am proposing to send you and made my own patterns out of an old sheet and temporarily fitted these in place to see how they worked before cutting the real lining material.
Cheers again
