Default Carpet Installation question

In our 66- Is there a particular order that the 6 carpet pieces should be installed so that they overlap each other in the correct way, best way for its appearance ?

Thinking either the piece that goes over the divider behind the seats may be the 1st piece to put in or the ones that go over the wheel wells. Then the others can overlap these.

Got it from ACC. Upon laying them in, looks like a good bit of trimming is gonna be needed. Glad i saved the original pieces, will use them to help determine where to make some cuts. If I'd been thinking I would've taken note of which pieces were on top of others.

Thanks-

Thanks Jack. Our 66 is also a 327/350 L79. Just at the tail end of a frame off restoration that's taken 5 years. We bought the car from the 2nd owner, it has 47k miles on it.
