This is a related experience. I don't have all my carpet down yet but
do remember that I had to remove some underlay where the radio mounts to
the tranny hump. I could not push the heater back far enough to line up
the bolt and nut below ('68). I recommend doing a dry fit before gluing
down the underlay. Some people do not glue anything down and just let
the carpet settle. Good luck w/ yours! Larry.

Subject: restoration question
I'm rounding the corner on the prep of my interior for restoration - all
the tar insulation is gone and the floorpan has been cleaned (revealing
no
rust!) and prepped for 2 POR15 coats this morning.
I'm now looking for some sort of insulation for the floorpan and
transmission tunnel before I lay the carpet kit I got from Dean (that
came with a pad already fixed to it!).
Any thoughts on what type of material and adhesive to use? I seem to
recall a conversation about a thin reflective material from 3M that
reduces the heat and does a decent job deadening sound. I don't want
anything too thick since Dean's carpet already has a pad on it, so I
would sure appreciate the list's thoughts.
Merry Christmas everyone!
