The photo of the white car is an unrestored 1963 convertible, the red car is mine with the new kick panels installed. I am getting ready to install the sill plates but cannot secure the lower screws for the kick panels as the holes are wallowed out (I did not install the carpet or the kick panels).
1) Any suggestions for securing the lower kick plate screws before installing the sill plates? I figure I will have to fill the holes with? but open to other recommendations.
2) Any recommendations for amount of carpet overlap before installing the sill plates? I'm thinking 1/4-1/2"?
3) Installing screws in sill plates - going to wrap a little tape around the screw threads to avoid damage to carpet. Other ideas?
As alway, thanks in advance for your help.
