Re: Carpet for my 1962 Dart

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

If you are running your subframe connectors through the floor you might 
consider having a local shop do at least the rear portion so they can form 
over the connectors, I wish I could photograph mine to show you.  The guy 
who installed mine did a great job of form fitting around the connectors and 
the cage locating points for a reasonable rate.
