So the 67 is getting closer to being out of paint jail. I’m unpacking the interior pieces in anticipation of getting it home and starting final assembly. I took a good look at the original headliner and carpets today and I was pleasantly surprised how good they both looked. No tears or wear that wouldn’t look right on a restored car. The original owner removed the interior in 1978 and wrapped it all in newspaper. My question is, what would be a good way to carefully deep clean the headliner and carpets prior to reinstallation?

Dry ice blasting. It does a phenomenal job in the hands of a skilled operator.......including interior.

Thanks Tim, a friend of mine and his brother opened a dry ice blasting business in Pontiac just recently across from M1 Concourse. I'll give him a call to see if he has any insight as I think so far they have only done engine compartments and undersides.

Paul check with Gary Reilly ( level one restoration) he is very knowledgable all thing dry ice. He has had great success and always willing to help. You might want to post something in his sponsor forum or conact him.

Great progress being made!!!
