Hey Tom, I've got the same seats and interior color in my '73. I'm going to look for insulation today at lunch. I'll let you know. Are you sure you need to glue anything down? The factory didn't glue any of it down did they? I don't think the tarpaper material was glued down.
I'm gluing my jute but not the carpet...i'm just waiting to here where it's being found. I did see it at a rod shop nearby so I will go there this weekend if I miss it today. I will have pics and specs when I return...(of the jute)
I just bought 6 yards of jute, should be enough to do the entire floor back to the trunk, inside all the kick panels and rear seat armrest panels, and maybe some left over for the trunk.
I had my carpet installed last night. They glued both down. Hmm, hope I do not need acces to the floor or need to do any welding under the car!
How does it look and feel glued down? The glue I was planning on using was just the 3M spray adhesive. I am pretty sure I could pull the carpet up pretty easily if I ever needed to.
Looks and feels fantastic. The "hump" is tight and the space between the split rear seats came out very nice. I think I saw the 3m adhesive on the shelf but it may have been for the door panels I had them do as well.
Found it!! I found the insulation at Home Depot. A 24" x 25' roll is $24. They had a roll that was 4' x something , but it was $40 something. I think this will work well. I'm planning on taping the seams with metal tape. I'll try to take pics the installation this weekend.
Thanks Rando, I will be going by a Home Depot this afternoon. I will try to snag some of that. So what do you think, put the aluminum stuff at the bottom and all the other stuff on top?
That is my plan at this time. I will take pics as I do this and post them. Of course posting final pic unless it looks like crap or I screw it all up
I don't know that I like this idea, and it will probably get alot of flack... My uncle has the habit of fiberglassing in his floorpans. He cuts and lays the mat in over the entire pan after he strips and cleans it, then he puts the resin to encapsulate it. It actually looks pretty good, and if the rust takes hold again, he still has a floor that won't be going anywhere. Again, I haven't done this, and I still haven't decided that I like the idea. But it sure seems it would protect the floors from moisture attacks from above, like a leaky cowl for example. Would also act as an insulator. Thoughts? Dave
