    early 1963 Carpet pattern under seats

    I have a Oct 62 car with the cavity under the seats. In looking in the JG, I'm not really sure what the carpet pattern should look like. I have attached a picture of my current pattern/layout and would like everyone's thoughts.

    Better still, if someone has an original car with the original carpet pattern, that would be very helpful.

    Looking to replace the rugs over the winter.

    Thanks

    Jerry the cut out is correct, the piece of carpet laying in recess I have not seen this done before. there should be a flap on front to cover bolts. the judging manual has the correct pic.

      Jerry I got my 63 carpets from ACC custom carpets and they were precut correctly. be sure to save the dimmer grommet if its rubber then it's correct. There are no correctly made carpets these days for 63 as the loop, heel pad. and stitching is a deduct. But they make a quality carpet.

        Ed,

        So according to the JG, I should create a flap in the front that goes into the front of the cavity. In addition, the JG pictures show cutouts for the rear seat brackets on each side. Is that a correct interpretation?

              Jerry,

              Wish I was at my computer but I'm on my way to the NCRS meet in Florida. Yes!!!!

              I have some photos of original unrestored 63's carpets installed and cut correctly from original cars taken at Bloomington many years ago by Marty Fowler. Maybe I didn't state that too clear. Original 63's that have never been restored!

              If you can wait AND REMIND me I would be glad to post them when I return to the home 40! They are of an original saddle tan 63 and a red 63. They are very nice.

              JR

                    Here are pictures of what I believe are original 63 carpets and there cut outs. I believe the seat brackets sit on the floor under the carpets and the impression on the carpet is because the seats were removed at some point and probably reinstalled over the carpet.

                    Hope this helps.

                      Richard,

                      Thanks, I've never seen this pattern around the opening with the trim attached.

                          those pics are right on. I found that once u cut out this pattern then u pull the carpet towards the front of the as much as possible and then install the seat. Then u just maneuver the carpet back under the seat.

                              Sorry, I can't get the camera under the seat to take a photo.

                              The carpet is cut even with the front of the cavity.
                              The carpet edge is not bound and it does NOT extend down into the cavity.

                              Let me know if you have any other questions.
