56 headliner, paint question

128vw · Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 5:24 am Post subject: 56 headliner, paint question

I'm about to paint the shell on my 56 oval and need to know what is painted and what is covered by the headliner. All the pictures I find only show the dash or seats. Is the door post behind the door covered with headliner material? How about aroumd the side windows? Any other areas coverd or painted in the interior? Thanks
The car was gutted when I got it so I have no reference.

The headliner covers above the rear quarter windows and upholstery material covers around and below them. The rear window is surrounded by mohair headliner. I found this picture within 30 seconds:

unless it's a standard...look for the claws that you bend over the liner

Hi Left, I have some pictures on my camera but even trying to post pictures as described am lost. My 56 is Jungle green. The weather here is getting colder and I need to wait for a warm up. Soon I hope.
