Summer 2011 Trans Am Projects (New Carpet Delivered & Freshly Dyed Parts)…

Mileage: 88,493

 

The new, correct colored carpet arrived today.  The Cognac #9205 is a perfect match and as always the quality and construction of the carpet by ACC is amazing!  Since we were experiencing record heat in Minnesota, I put the new carpet in the driveway so it would “relax” from the form it took when it was shipped.

While the carpet was outside I took a couple minutes to install the custom carpet pad I made HERE.  It looked great and only required minor trimming to fit!  After the carpet “relaxed” in the sun for an hour or so, I placed it into the car so it would start to take the form of the car.  You have no idea how good that carpet looked sitting in the car.  It really made me happy that I didn’t have to look at the floor and the carpet pad any longer!

I didn’t have a lot of time to start with the reassembly, but I had a chance to get a couple pictures of all the parts that I had been dyeing and getting ready to be reinstalled.

I was super excited to have the new carpet and be so close to getting my car back together.  I really miss driving it and can’t wait to see how everything looks when it finally comes together!
