If you want to play with fiberglass you could make a new shell for the headliner.. You can take your old one even if cracked in half and tape it then use fiberglass to fix it then remove the tape and should be able to cover it fine and reinstall. Fiberglass isn't as scary as it seems just wear thick rubber gloves, mask and plenty of ventilation and you are all good.

I allways thougt it would be cool to add an overhead console with map pockets and stuff. I got bigger fish to fry for now though, besides my hung-low headliner keeps my hair from sticking up in the back....

Well I found another headliner shell. This one is in one piece but is breaking in the middle. I supported it so and started putting on the vinyl fabric. I will post some pics when Im all done. Thanks for all your help guys.

JC you might consider putting a layer of fiberglass on it to keep it in one piece and make it a little more rigid.

that's my plan...not to reshape it just a slight layer for added durability nothing more and if it broke in half it would repair it and help it last much much longer without altering the shape and function.
