Have the roll cage built with the headliner in place. Zero problems.

I left the old headliner in place as a pattern while the cage was fabricated, then had an upholstery shop remove that headliner and replace it with a new stock-type item. Headliner installation is labor (and experience) intensive to get it right.

I installed one of these a few years ago when only TMI made them. Others make them now as well. Not sure though you could sneak it in past the roll cage.

YouTube is your friend. There are several videos even some installing the molded type in MoPars, I believe.

Left mine as-was when the roll bar went in.  Just used big sheets of aluminum as a heat shield.

My buddy had a 64 Fairlane street car with a full cage, it was very difficult to reinstall many of the interior pieces.

The Fairlane Club of America has extensive on-line tech articles and I'm sure the headliner bows arrangement is mentioned in one article.  You have to be a member to see the info, but its only $35 a year.  One of the few car clubs not ruined by politics like the Shelby and Mustang clubs.
