Cool stuff! Al, what is the color of the trunk side of the divider board? Is it natural cardboard or black?

Cool, I'll be installing new carpet in my Chevelle soon.

Rick, that is no picnic believe me... Lots of work.. Make sure you let the carpet heat up to get soft so you can work with it..

We had lots of problems with the carpet in my 69 Chevelle when installing it. The cut was way off and we had to send it back to Trim Parts.. They did make good on it however and sent out another set right away that was much better..

What are the rear ash tray covers like ? Ribbed or smooth ?

Cool stuff Albert. My experience has been the retractor bolts have always been painted/plated that color which coincidently matches the paint on that car. I could be wrong but I always see them like that.

Were the oval drain plugs in the floor pan covered with primer and then paint or just paint overspray?

You might want to take some close ups of how the carpeting has been cut around the seat mounting area as this has been a common question of people on here.

Thanks for sharing.
