carpet
Good morning everyone. Got a quick question? I'm replacing the carpet in my 67 coupe, does anyone have a set of instruction that would make it some what easy. Thanks and happy 4th. John

A forum search on "install carpet" turns up several threads

And, for simplifying location of holes you need to cut for mounting bolts/screws, install the bolts or screws before you install the carpet. Then feel for the screw or bolt and cut a small "X" in the carpet and push the carpet down around the fastener. Now remove the fastener and install whatever that fastener is intended to hold in place.
This is easier than installing the carpet, and then trying to figure out where to cut the holes for the mounting hardware.

Measure twice and cut once. I just replaced the carpet in my 59 and I messed up the drivers side. Will need to buy another piece. Take your time and you will be fine!
