Sunday started out with an upper A arm replacement, the restorer used the old arm and if you look close at the 1st pic they bent it installing the bushings, so they spaced them (Bushings) and welded the bushings spaced apart to make up for the lost room, the next 2 pics are the old one out with the proper one installed...3 hours...
Installed the carpet, but started with laying in the back section, then the front, trimmed the front underdash section only, then let the carpet use gravity over 2 days to settle in ....Remember when trimming the front (under dash) cut only 2 inch section off untill it has the proper lap in the middle of the car ( about 2 inch over lap) that way you don't trim to much off the part that is under the dash, Reg carpet kit you should have a notch for the gas pedel of about 2 inchs to get proper fire wall coverage. .......Today I started in the middle of the car and worked my way out to each door with a steamer , then let everything cool, then cut out the console brakets, then installed the shifter boot . I will install the seats before I trim at the doors as the weight of the seats will pull on the carpet and you could have a big problem having cut it to short to fit under door sill trim. ( If you have the hidden seat belt returns, you should install those before the trimming at the doors.)
Now let it set for 48 hours (More garvity) and come back and install seats, trim the sides and you have a perfect install................. 3 Hours
Now it's Miller time........
