- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- In this video, I install a carpet kit in a '68 Plymouth Valiant.The process is largely the same for a Duster, Dart or other A-body.The carpet color is Gold.
The carpet is from ACC, which is resold by many vendors.
Now that's some retro looking carpet! 😃👍 it looks awesome
Thanks! This car wasn't optioned with carpet originally. It had a speckled rubber mat which Plymouth optimistically referred to as a "rubber carpet"..even though it wasn't carpet. I have had to develop a color palette for the interior on my own because nothing is available anymore.
@@TylersNeighborhoodGarage it looks great though 🙂👍
Looking good like how your doing them old cars you have a good heart and common sense take care
Thank you
Tyler There is a place in Swansonville Virginia on hwy route 41 in Pittsylvania county va. THIS IS LOCATED 5 MILES SOUTH OF CALLANDS VA AND SOUTH OF CALLANDS VA. THE PERSON WHO OWNS THIS PROPERTY WORKS ON VINTAGE CRYSLER AND MOPARS.
The carpet turned out great, Tyler. That was a very concise and helpful video. Thanks for posting.
I like your loop. What type is it and where did you get it? I have a 74 Plymouth Valiant and am looking for a loop carpet replacement.
Just did this 2 weeks ago!!! Nice
Fun, isn't it?
@@TylersNeighborhoodGarage I was surprised my floorboards looked the way they did in 1970 when the car was new. I got lucky.
Using the soldering iron is a good tip! Looking very smart.
Can you do a video how to install the rest of the interior lol
Tyler, that Valiant will be one fine car!!!!
You've taken it pretty far to looking better then new!!!!
Something I always noticed about A body Mopars was the lack of sound deadening materials in and around and under carpeting. I guess that was an extra $ option when ordering the Dart and Valiant.
There isn't much. 2 large pieces under the carpet, one on the underside of the cowl, one across the firewall, two on each end of the firewall and two behind the kickpanels.
This place is 5 miles south of va hwy 57 in callands va.
I still can never like that color of carpet lol but looks good make want to get new carpet for my 65 with a headliner
That same color carpet would be a perfect match for the interior of the Dart.
Interestingly enough, that car came with black carpet. THIS car should have had a deep brown carpet to match the dash, but I thought that would make the interior too dark and dreary, so I decided to go with a lighter shade of carpet.
Tyler's Forgotten Car Rescue The gold carpet looks great. These projects provide great opportunities to learn new skills. I’m the 1960s and 1970s, every other car in Detroit was a Valiant or Dart, now you don’t see many unless they’re collector muscle cars.
Great video. What color is that?
Where did you get carpet is that cut pile..... I got some carpet from ACC for my 74 charger and I was not happy with it rather like the look of what you put down on this car even if it may not be original to my year.
Whenever you order carpet, you should be presented with choices regarding style and color. The style shown here is 80/20 loop which is found in pre-75 or so Mopars. You can simply choose the cut pile option when ordering.
@@TylersNeighborhoodGarage thanks for answering.
13:20 Here in the upper Midwest we say “hog it out”. Good job on the install 👍.
Oh Tyler, it's not the size of the carpet...it's how you fit it hahaaa
LOL that's exactly right.
Is that material close to what was originally used? I remember my dad ranting how 'cost effective' the cars were when he bought one new and it had a rubberized padding material that wasn't even really carpet. And of course the cheapest one available at the dealership didn't even have a radio. Modern materials will probably last longer I imagine. Looking like a great premold kit.
No underlay on this Mopar Tyler.
If you can sew, maybe that skill can come in handy if you cut out the wrong thing?
It might, but I haven't learned that skill yet. The key is to cut little slivers as you go, not big swaths.
0:30 THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID 😂
