Carpet and undercarpet insulation

[maytag]

Hey y'all!
So this evening I got the insulation layers down, prior to beginning the carpet.



I purchased a heavy Boat Carpet, with the idea that it would be very durable in the weather. I'll be working on it tomorrow evening.
I'm not re-installing the console / tunnel cover, so any suggestions / tips on the best way to form / mold the carpet to those complex shapes is appreciated,

What are the red and black items poking up through the insulation at the front of the drivers seat?

not sure what you're referring to?

Current progress:
got the main part of the tunnel completed last night. The seaming and stretching and etc is what really takes the time.. but I think it'll look really nice when it's done.

Don't want to be a party-pooper, but I trust the gear shift is in good shape..no rattles, greased cups ect...
Now when the carpet is in, you can engineer a fine cup and change holder...
Going to look good, looking forward seeing it when it is done.

Yes, yes.....
However, that isn't finished product either. It'll have access through the boot and ring; still to come.

nah... y'all are seeing things! yer crazy!



ok...ok... I changed the photos.

after all the crap I took on this forum for wrapping my header.... and before that for adding relays to everything with any significant electrical load.... and before that for my HID headlights.... and the list goes on and on... I didn't want to hang myself out there on another brilliant idea that would be slaughtered by the back-seat crowd. So I changed the photos.

i was so excited when i got my car.... it was so dirty.... ripped out all the old carpet and just threw in a remnant piece to get by..... really should rip it out and do it right.... bet that shield helps with heat as well as noise

alsso you are not putting the console back on.... i will be watching how this turns out... very interesting

[maytag]

here's how it looked when I took 'er out today.
I still need to put a couple finishers on it. But I'm quite happy with it.

That is just awesome. I think in the not to distant future this will be something I will tackle

[81SPIDERMATT]

what happens to the heater controls when you do this... and the emergency flasher and the interior light and the cig lighter.... ?????

Maytag,

That looks awesome.
Great job.
Sweet ride you have there, at least by what I see of the interior.
