carpet

[Ron Bennett]

I have a Speedway Tribute 23 body. This style body has a huge transmission hump and driveline tunnel that runs the length of the body. Speedway does not make a carpet kit for this style. I tried covering it with indoor and outdoor carpet but because it had a backing I could not get it to conform to the hump. A local shop sold me carpet that did not have any backing and is designed for use in the trunk area. It conforms very good and makes for a finished look. I did the hump in one peice and made floor mats. Material was very inexpensive and finished results are good for a home built hotrod. Hope this helps someone searching for an answer to carpet without breaking the bank.

Great idea Ron. Thanks for sharing. Did you use carpet mastic (glue) to hold it in place?

Used a spray glue from NAPA that was most expensive of the project but have enough left for other projects
