The Creation Of A Spit6

Have finally finished up the rear and door panels. Not perfect, but feel very nice with the padding underneath.
Lining the darn panel clips up is a bitch. Really need a lift to get the bottom ones lined up, but laying on the floor will work, just the getting up part. LOL
I used a 3/16 inch spring pin cut to size for the door handle pin, used fine needle nose to hold it in the hole, much easier.
I still had the original plastic covers for the inside of the door.
Don't know if I'm up to messing with the tunnel parts this afternoon, have to get the sewing machine out for the brake and knee pad ones.
I worked on the tunnel brace a few days ago, that will tear your hands up pulling around the foot. Not as hard as I though once you figure out the size of the padding needed and cutting it on the slant before covering in thin headliner foam.

Next day.
Worked some more on the interior.
Got the tunnel in with not too much hassle. For the first timer, put the top in first, then lift it from side to side and pull the carpet into place where you cut the holes. Will install top bolts in when I put the radio plate and radio in. Didn't have to jack up the dash on this one.
Did the most awkward job of all, putting the snaps on the carpet to secure it from moving every time you get in. Getting the female part into the carpet and riveted over was bad enough, but getting the top ones in the right spot was a back breaker for 79 year old. LOL did try to mark it with chalk but a pointer into the rivet proved to be best for a precise placement. Now as far as getting the top hat of the female in place, be prepared to shave that part of the back of the carpet in that area.
Was using a trouble light on one side and LED De Walt on the other, the trouble light did a little melting of the rubber pad on the driver side when I went to get washers for the male snap. You will want to put the lamp up off the floor, especially if you have insulation, so just a heads up on that. Have the Triumph mats for the foot well, so for me not a major problem, others maybe so. .
