During my time in Atlanta in the late sixties--what I remember of it anyway--several of the paint shops there were flocking whole cars.

Is nobody doing that anymore? 

Thanks,

I did something similar on my pop top. I didn't use hull liner fabric but rather some inexpensive carpet. It was very thin carpet, pretty close to hull liner thickness but it did not have the 2 way stretch that the hull liner stuff has. The lack of stretch did come back to bite me during the install - I didn't manage to get it on completely wrinkle free.
