A500 in an Early A

Hi Jerry - I hope to start the hump later this afternoon but based on the height and width of the upper crossmember, it’s going to be at several inches taller and wider from the cross member to the firewall. There’s no doubt in my mind some custom carpet will be needed, at least where the hump is concerned. The floors are still standard early A Body.

The front/rear seats are from a 66 Barracuda. Front seats are not nearly as wide as 63-65 seats so they should fit between the hump where is will narrow down in the back.


Don. Wish I had your fabrication skills!! Floor shift or column? Maybe the floor console would hide a bit of the carpet seam. Very Nice Work. JJ
