I hope it's ok to take up space in this thread chit-chatting about my car... I suppose I could start another thread. We'll see.

My red Sprint has a headliner that was installed by the PO and it looks really good, better than some Pro jobs I've seen. It makes me think I can do it myself -with help as you mention. I was thinking a week or two stretched out and clamped, but not glued would help it relax. Force me to get back on the SS for a while.

What are these bulldog clips you mention? I was thinking clothes pins or binder clips to hold it in place...
