Dart rubber floor mat test prototype.

[66Dvert]

Just working on some floor mats that I might like for my car, I'm not a fan of carpet floor mats so decided to experiment on rubber floormats dang that beast is heavy. now since the wife liked a different style than this saying it was too flat and boring, I'm going with a slightly different test (now that I know it actually works. )

next test is either of these in the first picture

and the masters getting cut for a silicone mold after the wife looks at them again

polishing is going to be a total ***** to do but they should look good.

Damn those are awesome.... need to make a pair with a Plymouth logo in the middle please

Man I need to get my CNC machine running.... Nice job!

you mean like this script? or just
Plymouth?

or this?

thanks, Once it's proved out I'll mill it with aluminum for a forever master mold. I do Lincoln heelpads for a customer that way and it gave me the idea to do my own MY way since I don't like the carpeted embroidered ones that well . lots of polishing coming up on this new designs set maybe I can get an approval from the wife this time

I'll probably be making the Barracuda one to match the sill plates I'm making to make it "more" consistent with each other. here is the last set (65 not the longer tailed 64) I did for a customer and am waiting for a quote to bulk anodize them in hardcoat.

Got a pic? I`ve been wanting a heal pad to sew on my custom carpet floor mat.

it's got the lincoln star in it . but I'm thinking about a heelpad for my dart (floating pedal so it' just a nice rectangle with the Dodge script in it) also a couple thing I need to process anything is #1 floor mounted gas pedal? or floater. #2 how wide and tall . The linbcoln ones get a floor mounted pedal and the carpet gets cut out to let the pedal through the forring and against the heelpad.

. so pissed bout that mistake

**** happens, I just cut short a head liner I`ve been waiting on for years, now I have to sew a section back in

Yeah, i was drilling the holes for the gas pedal.. came back up top and the drill grabbed a thread and pulled.. soo pissed

I`ve got the same deal floating pedal, only need about 4x6 piece.

Well we learn the hard way sometimes. Red hot nail works wonders, but it`s nice to have a helper with a welding glove on to pat the fire out

Hmmmm so a floor mat without the backing might work for you

Yeah, i was drilling the holes for the gas pedal.. came back up top and the drill grabbed a thread and pulled.. soo pissed

one of the reasons I use a sharp tipped soldering iron for hole locations (self sealing that way)

That is honestly.... awesome someone should be selling those.

if I can perfect the pouring techniques I will. But they are NOT going to be 19.99 floor mats for sure. since each one cost me 38.00 is just in materials and labor (myself = minimum wage slave....) . But the up side is I can custom make them once I get it right, instead of white, use another color like red,green,blue,orange so pretty much 55.00" ish" each. and More for the larger front floormat, more like 100 per (piece) side for those

 

[Demonx2]

You are yet ANOTHER quite talented FABO guy for sure!! What a place!!

 

[Dana67Dart]

Because I am who I am.....

Sorry!

These intersections stand out to my eye.
Unless it is the way the OEM did it
