New Carpet

[71-SS350]

Been quite some time since I have posted anything on the board altho I have looked in from time to time. Finally got to the point that I can hopefully get serious about the re-store on my Chevelle.

Ordered and received new carpet, door sills and sound deadener from OPG last week. Dark Blue (code #725 interior) original styled 80/20 loop made by ACC. Will be removing the rear seat/back cusihon and buckets and console and A/T shifter to clean and paint the floor while I have it bare.

Any one have tips and advice for this since am a real newbie in the Chevelle world. What is involved in removal of the A/C kick panels, have newer, in better condition, originals to replace. Also, drivers side floor near firewall, hard rubber or plastic molded cover goes between carpet and firewall. Seems to be bolted in?

As mentioned, very much a newbie on a Chevelle restore since this is the only Chevelle I've ever owned.
