    I did the door panels on my wagon. I spent 3 days in the shop gluing, cutting and stapling. I had the seats and carpet done by a shop and I did the panels and console.
    Not sure if you are aware that there are companies that make headliners for your car. I talked to a place called SMS Fabrics and they actually made me a headliner for my wagon in the same vinyl material to match my seats and door panels.

    Thanks! I did get some samples from SMS and a few other online places. We decided to go with a place called Automotive Interiors & Accessories, Inc. My wife and I are going to try to sew our own seat covers and do the door panels, I'm ordering the headliner and carpet pre made. I've done a little upholstery before, I put in a bow headliner and carpet in my 70 Monte Carlo and have made door panels for a few cars. Never sewed anything but I've got a buddy who was a production sewing machine mechanic in a few different factories who is helping us out. Fingers crossed it comes out decent!
