1965 Dodge Dart Charger

The front carpet is another story. First of all the heel pad has the wrong pattern, the wrong size and is sewn in the wrong place. On the picture you can see how it was placed on the old carpet and how it looks compared to the new one. That's the reason that Legendary has stepped up and offer me a new heel pad in the right size with the right pattern and in the right color. Then I will sew it in place. The heel pad must have been placed with comparison to the bracket for the accelerator pedal. The bracket should be mounted in the upper right corner of the heel pad. Sometimes the heel pad was cut open and sometimes the carpet in front of the heel pad was cut open.

My brother-in-laws carpet from his Dart is a gold mine for me.

I picked up the front carpet and very carefully removed the isolation on the carpet. On the front carpet the isolation is made in two pieces. The quality of this 50 year old isolation isn't the best but it will do to make a copy out of. I just wonder where to find the material!

As you can see in the pictures the isolation does not cover any mounting holes for the seat tracks. That made it easier for the assembly line workers to mount the seats and speed up the work.
