Hi,
I did the swap on my carpet. What a job. Pulled out the seats, console, seat belts, 8-Track, heater deflector, etc. Spent the first hour just looking at the floor pan and trying to figure out how far forward and up to put the front edge of the carpet. Finally cut the hole for the shifter. After that it went pretty quickly. Any mistakes I made were small and were covered up the the seats/console. I was sore for a week afterwards. At 60 I'm not a limber as I used to be. I really don't want to try to tackle the headliner. If I screw it up, it will be obvious to the world forever. The only reason I am replacing the original one is because 38 years ago my dad and a friend of his poked two holes in the panel above the front seats. Rifle barrels will do that when you are in a hurry to exit a vehicle while deer hunting. Otherwise it is tight and unfaded. SMS Auto Fabrics made me a perfect match replacement.
So I will assist the guy at the upholstery shop and be happy when it is done.
Mike
