Where are those beautiful ceiling pictures?

I have a new-to-me '89 Chieftain that I am finally able to do roof/ceiling repairs on. I have gutted the front half ceiling, repaired the leaks, and am now ready to put the ceiling back together. After applying the luan and foam, I am thinking of going up with new vinyl.
Several months ago, I saw on this or another forum a thread that showed a repair that someone else had done. It involved a white headliner divided off with what appeared to be varnished oak furring strips. I would like to do something similar, but I can't for the life of me find that thread again. If I remember correctly, there were also pictures of a mirrored ceiling on the same thread.
Is there anyone out there that remembers also seeing those pictures that can help me find them? I would be forever beholdin' to yer.

There's a really cool 3d type of light you could put in there but it was REALLY expensive.

Repairing drooping headliner
I searched several months ago because ours was drooping also.
We used some 3M spray adhesive after pushing it back under the strips that run across the ceiling. Still looks good.

There were several threads on sagging and drooping headliners on this forum. Do a search, I remember most of them were 90's Winnies. I was thinking about buying a 94 that had the problem. The wood strips seemed very feasible to me, just cut them to an exact length and power staple to roof, fill and stain or paint. I just tried "sagging headliners" and got some good hits.

Dick, that is an unbelievable job, but I am smart enough to know that I have WAY too little talent and skill to do something that grand!

What am I doing wrong? I searched "sagging headliner" under all forums, and all that came up was my own, original post.

Are you logged in when you search??

Use the top search not the blog.

Be sure Threads is checked, not posts

Type in sagging headliner

I just tried it again to be sure, got several hits.

I am ready now to begin gluing the blue-board foam insulation to the luan. I have a few pieces that broke apart on me, and I need to replace them. I have not been able to find this type of foam locally. Does anyone know who carries it? Mine is 1 1/2 inches thick. The closest I can find is 2 in. thick and is made of that very light white, unfaced styrofoam. Also, is the blue board the type of foam that contact cement will not harm?
