And I'm not sure if I'm understanding John correctly, but I didn't use any glue on the "good" side.

It becomes obvious when you start test-wrapping the material around the curves of the panel that this has to be done in order for it to conform. My mom also sews, quilts, etc. so it was not the first time I had ever heard of the concept. Anyway, the glue is another story. With any kind of contact cement it's important to spray both sides and let it dry a few minutes until it's tacky rather than wet (the Super 77 can says to bond when it is "aggressively tacky"). Hold the can 6 to 8 inches away, keep it moving and don't spray too much. If your headliner material is porous it can ooze out the other side and it is hard to get off. Maybe it's a symptom of the fact that I park outdoors in all kinds of weather, but mine fall down at least once a year, meaning that the material separates from the boards. I have tried 3M Headliner Adhesive as well as Super 77. Maybe some day I'll just buy the pre-done ones and get it over with.

To make room for some 2009 R/T posters that my brothers got me for Christmas, I'm going to be unframing this guy and I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in it and I have no idea it's worth. I'll let it go for a reasonable offer, as it belongs hanging up in some Chevelle guy's garage!!! I can send a photo of it! Jim H. P.S. Most of the other 68/69 Chevelle stuff I hd has been cleared out but I still have a few odds & ends left: - a few 1/64 diecasts (unopened) - a couple of frameable prints - a 1/24 scale (unopened) AMT model - a couple of Chevelle cloth patches I guess I'll farm out that stuff to ebay in the next few weeks when I have time!

Sandblast it or cut it out and replace it. Naval Jelly works to a point but will not remove deep pitted rust. Should you decide to try Naval Jelly, you will need some 000 or 0000 steel wool and some warm soapy water to neutralize it. Make sure you prime and paint it if it's in an inconspicuos area. Don't try to apply one of those self claimed rust converter coatings on it, they don't work.

Then it is easier to see and remove. Duplicolor makes good products.

So far I have been using sprays and the hold doesn't last. With contact cement you have to coat both of the surfaces that are being bonded to each other. I assume when you say the "good side" you are referring to the side that shows, which of course you don't want glue on. You do want to put to glue on the cardboard panel as well as the back of the fabric though. John Quoting Rick Schaefer <ric...@gmail.com>: > Definitely brush on.
