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!

[@AutoRestoMod]

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!!!

[@stevenboyle1651]

Your video is a big help to me as I install carpet in my 71 GTO. Thanks much.

[@AutoRestoMod]

We're glad Steven! Thanks for watching.

[@AutoRestoMod]

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!

Excellent job on the carpet. The hot iron for the holes is a great tip.

[@ponyyak68]

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.

[@thomasmadden293]

Basically, some really good tips here. Basically, restoring my '67 Mustang and can use much of the lessons learned here. Basically, thanks.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Right on! Basically.

[@quinn668]

The solder iron tip worked great!

[@2006sxr]

Thanks for all the good tips. Can't wait to try them on my carpet install. Thank you

Where is the carpet from???

[@DazedNConfuzed58]

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.

[@AutoRestoMod]

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.

[@I_like_turtles_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.

[@slappy1965]

I've never pulled my seats and installed new carpet before. What am I looking at for install time? 10 hours, 20 hours?

[@AutoRestoMod]

If the seats come out easy (sometimes they don't) 4 to 5 hours.

[@slappy1965]

@@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?

[@pop3mo]

[@JoseHernandez-su2yb]

Please what is the name of the glue you aplaid between the metal and the carpet thanks

[@AutoRestoMod]

I use 3M weatherstrip adhesive. You can also try contact adhesive, though it is pretty smelly for a while.

[@johanjohan7076]

thanks for the tip

[@stevegunderson2392]

Borgeson boxes are cheap for a reason, they are throw away you cannot rebuild them - go with PSC excellent quality.

[@AutoRestoMod]

We'll look into them.

[@7046463]

[@joeshumo9457]

I personally despise consoles.

[@AutoRestoMod]

That's why some cars don't have 'um!😁
