Headliner with sunroof?

My new 76 has a sunroof installed. I've been skeptical, but it's kinda growing on me.

At any rate, I want to install a headliner. Obviously, this will require a little trim custom work.

Anyone have any ideas about which headliner would be easiest to modify? Easiest to cut accurately? I know the factory ones are some kind of a fiber board. LMC sells an ABS version...

Just wondering.
Thanks

ABS would definitely be easier to trim accurately vs the foam/fiber shell.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Headliner with sunroof?

my 88 had a custom liner,strips of wood under the trim held by little staples.
my 78 had a sunroof,
metal strip with screws held the material around it,covered by a rubber strip
I'd go cardboard to trim and fit then work it to ABS
