    I can take a picture tomorrow but there was no issue whatsoever getting it under the sill plate ... Ford did it that way from the factory so I didn't foresee any issues.

    The seller on eBay did offer to BIND the edge of the front half which I opted to do for a cleaner look so that did add a little bit extra to the overlap. My 1974 car still has the factory 2-piece carpet and it WAS NOT bound from the factory ... just a straight cut ...

    FYI ...

    Here is the email address of the person I bought my two-piece from. They had told me you do not need to go through eBay to purchase it. You can also specify what type of binding if any you want on the edge .. the type I have is called SERGE.
