69 Carpet fit

[Guest]

I am installing new carpet in my 69, and my question is about the piece of carpet that goes up over the back behind the seat and folds over into the rear compartment with the piping showing at the bottom behind the seats. When it comes down next to the console at the side edge does is get folded over or does it get trimmed? Does the bolt from the seat belt section show? The same question applies next to the door.

Thanks,
Lou Ann

Allen,

Hopefully, the image below answers your question. This was taken from my 1-owner, unrestored '69 435hp carpet at the center console, passenger side. If it does not answer your question, we could try again.

Lyndon,
Sure, no problem. Remember, the original owner raced it at local events and wanted more instant rush of power, hence the 4-bbl carb and intake. The hood was replaced in 1973 (have a receipt for it). The 3 dueces, intake manifold and AIR system came with it when I bought it.

Would you be able to send me a close up, detailed pic of the factory orange overspray on the original intake that came with your car?

Greg,
There's only one spot of orange on the intake manifold (about the size of a match head), not enough to worry about.

Lyndon,
Had it about 3 years. Just recently moved it into the new garage annex attached to our home but haven't had time for working on it.
