I am looking for a set of console kick pannels for a 72. These are the plastic pannels that cover the wiring and heater hoses to the right of the gas peddel and the same on the passanger side. PM me
Thanks
Jay

Jay if you can't fine them just make them. I made mine from some thin plastic.
Mark,
I have to say, that looks very nice.
Might just give that a shot

Mine has some damage, and I was thinking of fabricate new ones in aluminum. Aluminum is easy to bend like you want, and will not crack like plastic

yeah that would work too. As for cracking they been in my car for 10 years or more. No cracking so far. I also cover mine with fabric too.
I eliminated the panels alltogether and rolled the carpet up the sides to cleanup the interior lines a bit. Just another idea.

Rick I really like that look. How is it done? What is on the back of the carpet to keep the shape? What if you have to get inside there? Can it just be pulled down?

This picture isn't very good but it might show you what i did. I drew some lines on the photo to show the 2 different pieces of metal used.
The upper part can be pulled down for access. I used aluminum, 18 guage I think, to form the upper shape (yellow lines). The aluminum goes down to the top of the curved lower piece. From there down I screwed some curved sheet metal to the car, (red) to form the curve at the bottom where the floor curves up to the fold down part. The carpet acts as a hinge. I used some 8" dia stove pipe from home depot for the pre-bent curve.
