Default difficulty of installing headliner 1971 fastback

Does anyone have any experience replacing the headliner on a 1971 Fastback? I am fairly handy and do most of the work on the car myself but I'm not sure if this is something I should attempt.Any suggestions?
Thanks

Most after market replacements come with very good instructions and YES you can do it!

As usual you can buy cheap, but spend a little time researching the seller.

Pay a lot of attention to the part that states installation only in WARM weather!

Just as Tom said.It is not a bad job,i done my 72 fb.The material does need to be warm.I sat mine on the roof of the car in the sun for an hour or so,then installed it.Just take it slow and it should turn out fine.

Thanks for the reply. You've given me the answer I was hoping for.I will give it a try.The only problem may be finding warm weather in Jan. in New England.

LMAO!!!! ^^ If you have a garage,crank up the heater and work slowly.Use a hair dryer if needed in the corners.
