What color is your steering column?

From the 1970 service manual.

Paint should be flat and dark blue like b7. I would strip it, prime with black epoxy then paint it. The vin tag should be removed, painted, and a decal from ECS applied, by you. I would not send it out.

An upholsterer told me to hog ring the thin marine carpet to the seat frames to replace the burlap with listing wires in it. It has worked perfectly and does not stink.

I mean ACC is the only one making this carpet. The 80/20 will look factory, it is thinner the backing is not the thick jute like factory, the backing is not as big in area. The mass backing will help. You can add some other padding if you like, and I would dynamat or thermo tec mat most of the...

ACC is your only choice, and it is kinda thin.

As far as fit I think the Essex fit better in an e-body. I also had dynamat everywhere and it fit fine, could have actually put more padding on the passenger side tunnel/console area, so for me thickness was not an issue. It was a little thick at the kick panel/sill plate area, but slight...

If it is a restoration then you want 80/20. The look is a personal thing, I like the Essex, at least what they sent me, would I put it in a superbird, no a 6.4 hemi swapped cuda, yes I did. It is a little harder to work with, and was oversize in both length and width, that's a good thing, at...

The 80/20 is factory correct for most cars. The Essex was used in some 1974 and up cars I think. Quality wise the Essex seems better to me. Mass backing is better in my opinion. I have had the best luck ordering the carpet thru rockauto, it always shows up fresh and without long-term fold lines...

Very nice

2018 Acc carpet, so it looks like they used to get it right.

Here is a jan 7 2018 ACC thru rockauto carpet. It looks right and has the extra on the edges, was fresh and had zero tough to get out folds, the jute was out of place but that is minor.

That thin marine carpet that menards or home depot sell is perfect on top of seat springs.

Do the listing wires hog ring thru the slots in the foam on that style of seat? I know if I was doing it I would add a little foam to the middle front with spray glue, trim it with a a turkey carving knife and sand it with coarse paper. I would also cut that front slot to gain definition in the...

Yes helps a bunch, set them inside a van or suv on a 100 degree day for about 4 hours works good too, or your garage attic.

Will not argue that the kits are good. By the time you buy the right type and width foam, the right batting, and a few other items you are over $100. I will not reuse anything under a new cover, and will not use burlap because of the stink. All the big box lumberyards have the marine carpet, the...

Advice I got from an upholstery supply house. Use marine grade indoor outdoor carpet over the springs. Hogring around the edges. Burlap even new stuff smells. Never use memory foam it breaks down faster. I found the cotton batting at Online Fabric Store, $60-70 shipped, always wrap the cotton...
