Hello all,
Two questions please.

1) I am putting in the 1/4 panel inside panels in my '67 coupe and need
to know if the carpet goes on the outside or inside of the panels at the
bottom. I believe it goes on the outside and is cut to fit the ridge in
the panel, but I'm not sure. Been some time since I took this thing
apart!! :-)

2) I am also installing the door sill scuff plates and have a fit
problem. The sill plate is too "tall" where it meets the top of the
seat mount and carpet. The plate is about 2" or 2 1/2" but the space
between the top of the side rail and seat mount sheetmetal is only about
1". I put new floors in and of course had to reattach the seat mount
sheetmetal. Was there originally a gap between the seat mount and the
side rail? I looked at my Jim Osborn body assy manual and it appears
the seat mounts are in correctly, with the "taller" side in the front.
I thought they might be backwards at first. Any ideas?

By the way, I think a Web page for the list is a good idea! Here's
another....how about having a thumbnail or our cars as part of a
signature for posts to this list?
Thanks!
Brian

Brian, the quarter trim panel goes over the carpet.
