Reply to "Front Trunk Recarpet"

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

Here is a link to what I did with mine.

http://www.markscars.ca/Pantera_Projects_2.html

If/when I do it again, I will use different material than the felt sold by Hall/Wilkinson etc. Mainly for improved durability.

One caution about using the self-adhesive stuff is that I found it necessary to "form" the felt/carpet over my knee to get it to contour nicely on the inner fenders. Something with a rubber or adhesive backing may not form over compound curves very nicely.

Honestly, the patterning/trimming was the hardest part (well, after cleaning off the old crap/rust/glue etc.). I pre-fit and trimmed everything before glueing and it went pretty well. Removal of the brake lines, pedal box plate, vacuum booster were required to tuck everything under as it was originally.

The results are worth the trouble though. (and, yes, I know the battery shut-off should be on the negative terminal, but I have short arms...)

Good luck!
Mark
