Question Rollbar install done....Interior reinstall ???'s

Anyone have any tips on cutting the carpet to fit around the downtubes. Kurtis and I are putting the interior back in tonight.

I want to make the reinstall and carpet fit around the downtubes as seamless as possible.

Any ideas?

Hi Guys, I had help from my race partner, he's a carpet installer by trade and he cussed the job the hole time. You'll see that the carpet does not fit all the way down on the floor pan at the main bar, we had to build up part of the area with some dense foam. That and contact cement you can't even see the seam.

WTF!! Wrecked!!!!

Well good run anyhow. You allways had the MPH!!!

Interior went in real well and had no issues with the carpet. We used Steves idea and used spray on contact cement.

I'll see if Kurtis can take some pics of the install.

Thanks to Kurtis and his Uncle Robert for the welding and install help! I also put in subframe connectors! *raises shot glass of tequilla*
