DeCaff2007:
For at least 10 years now, I've had NO interior, with the exception of the dash and 1 seat.  The reason I tore it all apart was to weld in new floor pans and to give it all a rattlecan. 

Well, a few weekends ago, a neighbor was out walking and I just happened to be working on the T/A in my driveway, because it was nice out.  Said neighbor comes over to chat, and of course we get to talking about cars and all the T/A's he's had in the past. 

Then, said neighbor, in a sort of dismal voice, noted all the work that this T/A needs.

He meant nothing bad by it, but that comment gave me the kick in @$$ I needed to finally get some sound deadening in and carpet laid down.  I've had brand new, correct color (firethorn red) carpet just sitting in the box for years.  Been meaning to get to this for YEARS.  I installed it today.





HUGE difference from just having metal floor pans and that one ragged seat. 

I also have replacement seats that will go in here soon.  I'm waiting on the spring bottoms to come in so I can patch the seats up and bolts them in. 

5th T/A:
The interior really pops with fresh carpet. I thought about installing floor insulation like that, obviously you picked the right time to do it.

DeCaff2007:
Yeah, ya know I thought there was supposed to be some sort of soft material between the sound deadener and the carpet.  I guess not?? 

OTOH, the more I work on this car, the more I realize that there's really not much to it.  Like, a few interior panels, then the body work nightmare, and it'll be about done at that point.

FormTA:
 
It is crazy how that one day really changed the look of it! The is a sound deadener backing pad that is under the carpet but by the time we pull our old nasty carpet it has become one. Classic industries and others offer it separately but what you and others have done is the best way.

Wallington:
If you ever need more criticism post some progress pics on fbook!
