If you can save your board, then just get material, if you need a new board, they sell those too. They won't come with material already on them though..

Took 2500 sandpaper  to the taillight lens  then buffed with medium polish on a buffing wheel but very carefully

That made a huge difference.

Got a lot done on my car,started to do the sound deadening, this is not bad just time consuming . I bought mine from Amazon 


Wanting to have my wiper motor restored, who does this?
Heater motor black in color?
As soon as I finish with the sound proofing going to start with the heater box.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

If you still have your original headliner board, keep it.  The headliner material is still made, but has a thicker back to it.  you can find it here: 
http://www.stockinteriors.com/HeadlinerColorsUp.asp?TypeId=21 (Search under Headliner Board)  A1928 is the code for Black.

It is the same texture as the original, just thicker. 

What a great project! N-code 383, A36 axle package, Rallye dash, FC7, AM-8 Track, disc brakes, A/C, and black leather interior!  Love me those overhead console cars!

Alan, where do they sell those? I have only found the fiberglass re-pops.  I'd rather have the original perforated beaverboard, if I could.

I think they only sell the fiberglass ones ? I don't really know what they're made of, I've never been in the market for one.
