I do need to put new quarters on it, but I think I can pull the headliner back far enough to protect them from the heat.

The headliner did not fare as well as I wanted it to through the soda blasting experience. It is still in good shape and needs to be cleaned, but I have a replacement. The carpet and seat covers are new so it kind of stands out. I am lucky the door panels are in very nice shape. A testament to a garaged car.

If you decide to keep the headliner. Cover it with blue painters tape, and if you have to shuttle the car with the glass out make sure you don't have any loose headliner ends. Ask me how I know...lessons learned...

Project is back on track now. Removed all the factory caulking...stuff was very malleable. I was really silurprised how putty like it was. Put in the USC all metal product and skimmed that with filler. Top man will be there today to install top and headliner. Unfortunately I have to leave town on Business this week. Hopefully it will be done when I get back. More importantly done right😳
