kick panels

So I just got my new kick panels for my 62 comet sedan, and they do not fit. This is the part number from Macs C2DZ-6402344-5 for 60-65. This is the part number from Auto Krafters. C1DB-6402344-5 for 60-63. They both look the same but different part numbers. Thoughts?

Basicly asking how to install this without screwing it up. Every thing I found calls for using the old carpet as a template.

Ok next question... The original carpet was garbage. How do I go about installing without having the old on as a template.

carpet replacement

Ok so the original carpet in my 62 resembled anything but. I have a new carpet to install. my main question is the placement of the gas pedal. Does it sit on top of the carpet, or do I need to make a slit?

Re: sputtering uphill

Remind me, what year Comet? The old Load-O-Matic distributors (mid '64 back) were matched to the carb, if there is a mismatch between carb and the distributor will not advance properly, they were a vacuum only distributor, not sure of the fix (can't remember) but can try and look up the solution if...

Re: What first, bondo or epoxy primer on bear metal

I put the bondo on first,really don't think it matters as long as you scuff it good with at least 80 grit. If it is going to take you a few months to get it done spray the epoxy on the car, then you won't have to worry about it rusting. Matt STOP....... don't use bondo it will suck moisture out of ...
