I submitted this post not long ago and for some reason it never appeared in
the digest (or if it did I missed it) so I'll try again.
The (black) carpet in my '68 convert is probably the original and is kinda
worn in some spots. It's time to replace. I'm considering doing this myself over
the winter when the car will be off the road. From what I've seen on the
internet I can probably pick up the correct carpet (80/20 loop) for about $135,
and supposedly it will come "preformed" for the car. I know I
can take the front seats out by removing some bolts from underneath the car. As
to the carpeted areas on the seatbacks, etc., they're in good shape except for
fading. I'm thinking of hitting them with some black carpet dye to bring them
back to life.
On the surface it seems like a fairly simple and straightforward job. Doing
it myself would give me an opportunity to look for rust on the floor pan and
deal with it, if there's any there. I'll be doing the trunk at the same time.
Am I overlooking anything that's likely to cause me to wish I had never
started this job? Any advice and suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks!
Tom
