64 jack compartment cover butt joint photo needed

[Tim D.]

Hi guys.....could someone please send me a couple of close up shots of the butt joint on the front edge of a 1964 convertible jack compartment cover board? I just just finished installing new Al Knoch carpet. I purchased the latest edition of the judging guide and it didn't have a photo of it. I've read about how to fold it, but I'm not positive what they mean. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Thank you in advance.

Jack and Alan,

Thank you so much for your quick reply. The photos are exactly what I needed to verify how to make the correct butt joint. It looks to be exactly like what is described in the judging guide but a picture is worth a thousand words. I am curious as to why GM did it this way. I can't help wonder why they didn't just run the binding all the way around the cover board in one continuous loop. Thanks again for your help and have a great day!
