Yep... when dealing with parts made 6500 miles away, sometimes some "persuasion" is in order!
And carpet installation 101: 1. Lay out the supposedly, molded, carpet and see how lousy it fits. 2. Wonder if Taka or some other make made a Mustang model since this carpet doesn't remotely fit a Ford Mustang. 3. Get out a lot of glue and go to town! 4. Position carpet wrong and realize directions mean what they say about "instant bond". 5. Sell car to Phil unfinished with strategically offset carpet permanently glued down.
But seriously.... yesterday was Heater Box restoration day and the carpet and side sills are in! I also went with the Accessory Panels to really make it pop when you open the door. More interior work to come today!
Oh.... and since I'm shipping the car back to Ohio, instead of the fresh Bullitt plates... maybe I need to restore the plates that came with the car?
Cheers
