Finally finished installing the carpet.
The floor was covered with Hushmat sound deadener/insulation. The jute underlay was installed over the insulation. The pattern for the front carpet is tricky due to the shape of the transmission tunnel cover. I used some scrap auto carpet to make the pattern. The pattern was traced to the cut-pile carpet. The front section of the carpet was glued over the jute underlay. The rear section of the carpet was sent to the carpet company to have the exposed edge bound. It was also glued over the jute. The stainless trim by the door sill was installed. Ribbed rubber will be installed to simulate the original Packard sill plates.
The camera flash lightens up the color of the carpet, it's dark charcoal gray.
Next up is installing the door panels, package tray and seats.
