I am reassembling a car that started restoration by someone else and would appreciate a few pictures of the headliner and the metal covers on each side. Not sure what they should look like. I got them with the car and they had been removed and primed.

Gary,

See if this helps. The hard Plastic panel runs longitudinally just above the windows between the area labeled 35.5470.
There's bright trim both above the window and edge of the hard panel that meets the front to back headliner pleats.

The picture is helpful but mine seems different. There is a longitudinal member about 7 inches wide that goes between the headliner and the tops of the doors. Hard to explain. Mine were originally painted I think and are now rough like they have been sandblasted.  Blue seats appearing to look like the picture and headliner a sharper blue. What color should the longitudinal be painted? I would love to find a color picture of an original headliner and seats like mine for the upholsterer to use during the restoration of the interior. The seats were sun burned due to the plastic seat covers.

Gary,
There's a limited amount of people on this board. I suggest you pick up your directory & contact some owners there.

Gary,

I'm assuming your interior is medium blue leather with black/medium blue Corinthian cloth - Code 72. If so, the sand blasted roof panels would be the same color blue as the painted portion of the dash, metal door trim and roof halo over the rear seat. Most likely the roof cloth would be medium blue brushed cotton.
