Slow, Driving Rustoration 1972 Dart
After getting the speakers installed and trying figure out my inst. cluster lighting issues (all the sockets were each missing one ear - ordered) I decided to see what the carpet looked like. I've had it almost a month so I unboxed it and set the pieces in front of heater vents in the house to warm them up.
I got the carpet from stock interiors. The carpet looks exactly like I expected and wanted. I got the mass backing and it is hefty carpet. The only problem I have is that the factory AC evaporator coil case seems too low to the floor pan. That and there's a big lump of factory joint filler right there too. there is less than 1/4" overall so the carpet won't slide under it. I'm going to look and see how hard it is to unbolt the case temporarily so i can get the carpet in. I'm not ready to install it anyway.
None of these photos are accurate representations of the color. In the bottom picture you can see how far I can get the carpet slid under the AC. That was with quite a bit of wrestling. The jute backing would never slide up under there.
