Russell,
I haven't had time to rip the Dynamat out of my '67 yet. It has caused more
problems than it's worth.
When I replaced the carpeting in my '66, I had a trim shop custom fit floor
carpet in one piece per side. If ever gets really wet, out come the seats,
and out comes the carpet in one piece. It doesn't bunch up like every other
two-piece floor carpet kit I have seen, either.
