[Roadsters] Stereo/speakers

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

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.

Gary
