So great that you older guys have started using technology like recording videos. My generation needs your wisdom I like how you guys handle your jobs!
Thanks for the kind words! We recommend getting a cheap one from the tool store. You can wreck a nice iron doing this.
This is the second video I watch from these guys and it’s awesome!!!
Excellent job on the carpet.
The hot iron for the holes is a great tip.
Thanks we came up with that after accidentally taking a row of 80/20 out of a carpet when putting a console in; the screw pulled it out like it was budda. Luckily it was between the seat and the console!
Hot Iron for holes is a great idea!
I've always played hell w/ finding & cutting holes in the past .This will make it a lot easier.
The solder iron tip worked great!
Your video is a big help to me as I install carpet in my 71 GTO. Thanks much.
We're glad Steven! Thanks for watching.
You need to bring back this guy to your show

I use 3M weatherstrip adhesive. You can also try contact adhesive, though it is pretty smelly for a while.
I did a resto on my 68 Fastback many years ago when Consoles could not be replaced. I think the copyright finally expired. I went to NPD and looked for them. They have them, but they damn near cost half of what the whole car cost back in 1967. Over $1,000.00. My car came with a console from the factory and by the time I got that car, the console was trashed. Soooooo.... looks like no console for my car at all.
Paul, you can source the parts that are busted via eBay and swap meets, they are still out there. We had to do that with our '67.
My dad picked up a 67 deluxe 4spd one off ebay in the early 2000's. Back when the 4spd piece wasn't being made. I think we paid close to 700 for a used one.
Brilliant! Put a screw through your new floor pans so they can rust! If you’re going to hack the install with screws, use 3m 4200 to seal it.
The best practice is: DON’T PUT SCREWS THROUGH YOUR FLOOR PANS!!! And listen to people that tell you to do that!
You use POR 15 on the screws. Oh and Ford used screws. And GM and Chrysler.
@@AutoRestoMod I don’t use screws through the floor pans ever. If I did, I would use 3M 4200 Marine sealant or a seam sealer. I use RustBullet Duragrade. I’m not a big fan of POR15.
All the companies use to use screws that’s a major reason they had rust issues. Stereo installers that don’t know what they are doing screw through everything: firewall, floor pans.... rust will begin forming where that screw penetrated the sheet metal.
If you're replacing carpet in an old Ford, it was screwed down originally. You reuse existing holes.
I've never pulled my seats and installed new carpet before. What am I looking at for install time? 10 hours, 20 hours?
If the seats come out easy (sometimes they don't) 4 to 5 hours.
@@AutoRestoMod I'm thinking of doing this to spruce up my car. It does need floor pans and rockers redone, but I feel this will increase the resale and first impression if I choose to sell the car. Seems like good bang for the buck if I can do it myself. Am I completely off here?
Borgeson boxes are cheap for a reason, they are throw away you cannot rebuild them - go with PSC excellent quality.
We'll look into them.
I personally despise consoles.
That's why some cars don't have 'um!😁
