Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread

The door locks were hazy so I buffed them with green, then white compound before installing them.






Installing the floor mat from ACC. The mat looks good and fits the shape of the floor very well. We still need to finish trimming around the door jambs and gas tank but it's fairly close for now. Dad wants to finish it up so I stopped trimming at this point. If you're going to be installing the floor mat and the firewall pad, you'll be way better off to install the floor mat first as it's tough to tuck the floor mat under the firewall pad around the pedals.

The padding they sent was too small so we added more padding around the edges and missing spots. We also cut reliefs in a few places since the padding is flat and not shaped to the pans already.




Roughly fitted. I'll post more pics once it's in and settled. The instrutions say it takes 48 hours for wrinkles to come out from being boxed up.




Extra length at the rear in case you moved the gas tank. Needs trimming in our case.




This is how much we removed from the front edge.
