Interior carpeting done

[Cobraman]

Wow what a tedious task that was but its finally finished thanks to this fourm and Frank at ie427 video instruction all turned out beautifully. Next body fitment and such while my wife works on some custom interior work thanks to Greg's handmade door panel ideas it should look amazing when finished. I've attached some pictures of today's finished product more coming as I continue the journey. Oh to celebrate this milestone I took it around the block a couple times it's 25° degrees here but I'm just to dang excited.

Congrats. I'm just starting my carpet install, however, my body is on. Makes install a little more challenging.

Looking good! Carpet is tedious, but very satisfying. It really makes it feel like an actual car and not a big Erector set.

Congrats. I'm just starting my carpet install, however, my body is on. Makes install a little more challenging.

I just worked on it couple hours a day and divided it up into sections passenger foot box 1st to start then the drivers foot box . It was much easier to remove the gas pedal gave me the room needed to install sound mat and carpet. The piece that wraps around from footbox to foot box is the most difficult I feel it's much easier to start in the drivers foot box and as I got around the front the thickness of the sound mat made the carpet not line up correctly so I cut it in the narrow spot underneath the dash then started in the opposite foot box and it came together with just a very small 3/4 splice piece thier instead of way underneath the footbox. I'm also adding a small console underneath the dash so it really won't show anything.
Good luck let me know if I can help with more pics if necessary. Oh do the floors last.
