1969 Nova Red Interior Carpet Color Question

[69L78]

Mark, I have used a product named BAC A ZAP with great results. You need to know someone with a pesticide license to buy this product. A friend of mine details cars for a profession and uses this product also to get the human smell out of a vehicle in which someone has died and not discovered for a few days. Also try using charcoal, it will draw the smell out also..... I believe you wrap the charcoal in wet newspaper. This product eliminates organic odors and is also biodegradeable, salmonella free, non-caustic, low toxicity and contains active live bacteria.

I had a similar problem with a mouse stained carpet...I removed all the carpet and as much of the tar paper as possible. I then washed it down with Pinesol and bleach..one dose of each diluted with water...let it dry and the sprinkled Arm and Hammer litter box powder (a baking soda formula) in the trunk and interior and let it sit outside...windows down for sevral days...vacuumed and then repeated the process..it worked good. No more mouse smell..as for installing the tar paper..try using a heat gun to make it soft and pliable...this will also make it stickier...a local carpet shop showed me this trick..they also heat up the carpet to get it to fit better. You might try SMS fabrics in Oregon to see if they have any original carpeting or know of a source. Having it dyed correctly would also be an option and perhaps the easiest solution.
