Re: Replacing Headliner
To the OP, Did you ever do this headliner replacement and if so how did it turn out? Sorry I didn't reply to your additional question. I should have subscribed to this thread.

Re: Replacing Headliner
Tuscarora Dave,
I'm not sure if 3M Super 77 has been reformulated since you worked in the body shop, but it currently says that it is not to be used for automotive headliners. I made this mistake about a month or two ago when I replaced the headliner in my Mazda 6. I bought a can of Super 77 at Wal-Mart because I had originally intended to re-adhere a portion of the headliner that had fallen in the rear corner. When I decided to replace the entire headliner, I used the Super 77 I had on hand and within a week, my new headliner was barely hanging on. I had to peel it back off and I bought a different 3M material that is meant for light duty headliners. I can't remember the part number, but it was available at the local O'Reilly's Auto Part Store.
Again, they may have changed their formula since you used it, but the back of the can currently says it's not to be used on automotive headliners, and I found out why, the hard way, lol. I did my headliner before I read this thread, so I blame nobody but myself for not reading the back of the can before using it. Whoops!

Re: Replacing Headliner
I replaced the headliner in my 86 442 when I owned it. It was pretty simple since it had T-Tops and was only the piece over the rear seats. I pulled it out, removed the old liner, then cleaned the backer board really well to remove all the old adhesive. I used the 3M spray can adhesive and some gray fabric I bought at JoAnn Fabrics (wasn't made for headliners but worked). Just have to be careful once you lay the fabric down cause it can be tricky to ensure a smooth finish.
