    Where does the seam end up on a 2 piece? Would it be under the front bench seat?

    I'm not sure which color from the chart to get. I don't want to get too light. I read med blue would be for a 72 Sprint but I'm thinking that's too light for mine. Leaning towards the bright blue now. I read on a Chevelle forum that the bright blue is quite a bit darker than the medium blue.

    Either one will be new :).. And in all honestly, the price isn't so bad you can't change it sooner than later. The price of just a couple of tires is more than that and will require changing sooner..

    I ordered the bright blue. I'll give a report in a few weeks when it comes in.

    Sounds good. Be careful.. Starting projects can lead to all kinds of other side track projects. Wear some blinders :rolleyes:

    I am going to...after I get the guts and glory up to removed the dried out yet somehow stuck on carpet padding under my current carpet.
    I even considering not putting carpet back in though, and doing a rhino lined texture coating and just using floor mats :drive:

    Alot of stuff we get into could have waited lol.
    I paid for my windshield to be replaced over two years ago, maybe three. The guy brought it and took the old one out. I asked him if he would leave it so I could clean and get the headliner in. He said ok and to call him when I'm ready for it to go in. I don't expect him to remember that HE offered to come back. :huh:
    Actually on my way after writeing this to get some peel and seal for my roof. Headliner next then dash then the carpet then ....

    The carpet got here really fast. The color is ACC's "bright blue". This is much lighter than the other carpet I had and is a close match to the color of my 71 Mustang seat covers. Very happy with the color, I may try to fit next week.
