Pete Phillips Member Registered: 09/01/03 Posts: 803	Can anyone with a '53 Special 2-door hardtop tell me how many bows it takes to hang the headliner? I'm restoring one, but all of the bows or rods are missing, so I don't know how many to look for, nor am I able to order a new headliner until I know how many bows it is supposed to have. Photo attached of the car's current progress. Thanks for any help. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Sherman, TX Attachments

Pete Phillips Member Registered: 09/01/03 Posts: 803	Now I need to find someone with the six headliner bows for sale. I think it needs to come from a 2-dr. hardtop because of the roof shape. I'm wondering if 1950, 1951, and 1952 2-dr. hardtop headliner bows would be the same as '53. Anybody know? Pete
