Carpet install question
Does anyone know of a good link showing where all the pieces in a new carpet set go? I've had my carpet in storage a few years while finishing other work on the car (and I seem to be more interested in old bikes these days too) and am now looking at a bunch of pieces, not all of which are obvious. Before I jump in too quickly it'd be nice to get more data. It's time to finish this car!

corvettefaq ..?
I think you can get some info off of corvettefaq.com.
Somewhere I got a few articles and they helped a little bit. I have them on efile, I might be able to find and send them to you.
My email is carbster09@juno.com
Its an easy job, I also Dynomat'ed at the same time. I cut one piece a little too much, so beeee careful. It was right at the console, leave a little more than you think and trim.

I have a few pics of my install, but I doubt if they would help.

I'm finishing up my carpet on my 75.
Here's a url that gives a little info:
http://www.corvettemagazine.com/2001.../carpetpg1.asp
And before you put that carpet in, check this guy:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/vettfixr/page14.htm
for insulating your cockpit first! This guy used some more expensive insulation "The Super Insulator" and is sold through Jeg's and Summit racing. It comes in 4 x 6 foot rolls and consists of a cloth material packing coated with "Firex" fire retardant barrier sandwiched between two layers of aluminum. I used HVAC "Reflectix " insulation from Home Depot.
Here's another URL: http://www.geneandpam.com/interior.html
These guys did both!

I am fairly sure that Dr. Rebuild shows all of the pieces for the various carpet sets, by year. You have got my interest on the old bikes issue. I am re-doing, (not truly restoring) a 44 Indian Chief. What bike(s) do you have.

Hi Orville,
I've been interested in old 2-strokes for some time now and have a '74 Kawasaki H2, '71 H1, '73 Suzuki T500 and '75 GT550. I'm keeping an eye out for an old Triumph or early Sportster for my next project. Your Indian sounds great.
Thanks for the additional links.
