442 restoration questions
is the original carpet on a '70 442 2 or 3 sections? the one in our car looks original, but the front section is 2 peices under the front buckets and then the rear part.
does anyone know the correct plating or paint finish for the following items? 4 speed shift linkage and reverse lockout linkage? hood latch and hinges? coil bracket? lower control arm bolts and nuts? upper control arm shaft washers and nuts? has anyone ever found a build sheet above the gas tank on a lansing built 442 or W car??? thanx! |

Sounds like someone might have "modified" your carpet or replaced the front. To my knowledge, your car should have a 2 piece carpet. Having buckets shouldn't make any difference to the carpet. It just means that there are different hole patterns for the seat mounts/tracks. The carpet should be a jute back 80/20 loop, and both back the front carptets were "preformed" to fit the contours of the floor pan and trans hump. If the carpet is split under the console, I would suspect a backyard repair.
Good question about the build sheet. Never found the actual build order, but I found 3 broadcast sheets in my car. 1 tucked into the dash wiring loom, 1 under the front carpet, and 1 on top of the gas tank when I had to take it out for a leaking filler neck (The sheet wasn't in very good shape but was recognizable for what it was). My car was built in Lansing 04/72.

I know Kanter sells reproduction carpets for classic cars. However, I think they are generic. There is also a place called EZ Rod Interiors (I think that is right), they do generic interior items for most muscle and classic cars.

we've used ACC in the past. they fit well and are good quality. the only issue i have is they seem to get fuzzy. i can't find anyone's carpet that has the look and feel of original carpet.

I bought carpet from this site twice:
http://www.autotrimsupply.com. Seems to be of good quality, they appear to be selling the ACC products but about 1/2 the price. I bought both carpets with the mass backing option which really quiets things down. |
