Did you cover the windlace around the doors or did you order it that way?

I bought a big roll of the 1/2" foam windlace cord and sewed it up with the same material as the headliner, etc.

I was thinking that's what you done.

Thanks Bob. Keeping busy on this is part of my way of coping with it. Busy hands keep the mind from going down a rabbit hole.......

Got some more done, front kick panels, with a carpet strip, it'll line up with a carpet strip on the door panels.

Carpeted the trunk, found some marine stainless finger pull thingies to lift the lids to the storage compartment and battery.

Finished putting in the carpet today, the front section is held down with velcro strips on the edges so it can be lifted up to access the master cylinder. Also made a matching brown boot for the shifter. I HAD the door panels finished and installed but fell victim to a noob snafu - forgot to allow for the thickness of the material around the edges, especially the carpet strip along the bottom Too close to the door openings, trying to pull the windlace out and pop the front kick panels off, could barely close the doors. No good! Had to undo the stapled edges and cut 1/8 to 1/4" off all around - oh well, I'll know better next time. Also messed up a bunch of the nylon push pins that hold the panels on so I'm waiting for more from Scamazon...

You're gettin pretty salty with that sewing stuff

 

[Torchie]

Looks great.
You will get it...
As I’m laying out the channeled floor in the Dodge I was thinking allowances for door panels and such.
Much to consider.
