Does anyone have recommendations on an experienced Type I interior installer in the Boston area (RI, NH ok too)?

I have a '57 Rag and don't want to screw it up.


A lot of Sambites suggest

Does the JBugs video explain how to install a headliner with a Ragtop?

Thanks for your input!

The J-Bugs video only shows the one piece headliner installation without a sunroof. If your using this conversion type headliner the video does a very good job of describing the process. However, if your using the multi piece (original type) headliner then your installation is more complicated and I have not seen any video help with this.

Look in the yellow pages ( or search yahoo yellow pages ) for upholstry shops in Dedham, MA, I callled around last year and found a guy who said he would do the headliner on a ghia for me for what sounded pretty cheap. He said he had done alot of bug headliners, he has some sort of foreign accent. I ended up doing it myself. The are some upholstry shops in the area that can do your bug. call around.. I will ask a few people I know if they recomend someone. If you end up doing it yourself and need help, pmail me.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for your offer. That's awfully kind. I'll try and track down that shop in dedham. (hopefully the accent is German!)
