When the carpet matches the bodycolor.

Missquoting sexual innuendos.

Kinja'd!!!

For the record, this is what the old carpet looked like:

Kinja'd!!!

The shittiest thinest carpet you can find, with no insulation, attached to the floor with double sided tape and cut into tiny bits to match the curves of the floor pans.

There is tar sound deadener and insulation under a thick carpet now.

I’ll be ordering new carpet for the ‘63 as soon as I have the door seals replaced and the floor repaired. I think the current carpets were taken from a two-door - they don’t match the rear door opening properly.

Damn, that interior of the Bel Air looks huge without seats, you could almost live in there.

Nice! Did you swap out the Bel Air wheel for an Impala wheel recently?

No, it’s the second Bel Air, which has had some good, some bad, and some terrible repairs. I’m currently bringing it back to some kind of glory. The other one is still completely turquoise, but the colors are close.

The Galaxie leaks water into the floorboards through the doors every time it rains heavily, and the carpets are badly stained even outside of that from other causes. Their coloration varies from bleached reddish to gold to almost black. Very much in need of being removed.

Ah ha! I was a little confused. They’re both turquoise ‘60 Bel Airs, right? But the other one is a 2 door sedan?

The carpet in the other bel air is pretty stained and torn too. That’s on the program in two weeks

This one is light blue with a white roof and a 4 door, the other one is a turquoise 2 door. But the colors are close, ans the lighting doesn’t help

I think my brain was expecting car so automatically processed the colors ad being the same. That’s awesome - you probably have half of the 60 Chevys in Europe!
