1955, 1956, 1957 Chevy carpet installation tips for the DIY guys

Giving a few tips if you're the first time installer of an aftermarket molded carpet kit in your tri 5 Chevy. I'm not a pro but have installed a few. This would cover lots of other vehicles as well

This guy has helped so very much and I've only had my 55 since Dec 2020. I too am on a budget!

Great video I'm working on a 56 hard top this was great advice

Excellent video. 1 tip I have for doing carpet work is to heat up an awl or Phillips screw driver and using it to put a hole in the carpet for bolt holes.

[@haffrods7055]

I said that in the video

I can't find a one-piece, molded, cut-pile carpet anywhere. Where did you get it?

[@haffrods7055]

Ecklers I think

Daytona Weave would be original for 55.

[@haffrods7055]

Yes it is but could not afford it

@@haffrods7055 I was just commenting not on your choice, which looks great, btw, but to your statement about the loop carpet, which I believe came out with the 57 model year. I actually prefer the cute pile to the loop. Had that in a 56 and didn't care for it. The Daytona Weave I got was nice, but two pieces with the gap in between as you described, which was fine for me. I actually want the car to be as much like orginal as possible, warts and all. But I certainly can appreciate the car you are building. That things gonna be gorgeous!

@@thomasparker5208 I had to research this. There was loop and Daytona carpet in 55 cars. The Daytona was an option.
