Anyone have a headliner template?

I have a 56 but 55 to 57 should all be the same, maybe 58 and 59 as well. I want to make my own and it doesn't make sense to buy a new one from LMC for $50 and rip off the cover to reupholster it. If I had a template and the thickness of the original I could reuse the original type mounting seal. I'd rather have hidden fasteners but can't figure out how to do it...any suggestions either way would be great.

I'm sorry i only have one picture but from looking at you thread i don't think putting a one piece headliner in you truck would be a big deal for you.. you're knock'n it out now..
The guy who did this one glued foam up and sanded to to round off the sides and put a nice shape to it and then covered it in leather.. i've got some better pictures of a suburban he did by screwing up wood paneling and then glueing foam to it and covering it.. it's in the 1951 suburban 4 year project..
