Good lord, man, that carpet looks amazing. Where did you source that roll?
Don't tell me - "Amazon automotive carpet search?" Your cat is just cruel, ghosting your work w/that BFD look. You need a small furry dog to fawn over your every step. _________________ Eventually, "we are what we pretend to be.’”

Lol, V we've got three dogs so believe me hanging with the cat is a welcome change of pace.

My friends, if I have $80 (eighty) dollars into those rolls of carpet and foam it is overestimating the cost. A Menards opened near us and had an insane sale on that carpet. I bet automotive/marine carpet is at the other home improvement stores as well.
Its cut pile, not looped. It cuts clean and easy with carpet shears without any stray yarns.
In all honesty, it looks better in person because the camera exaggerates the lines and wrinkles. I was worried that it would look terrible and now I will never think about using a kit.
Thank you so much for the encouragement guys. Its motivating to share the build. _________________ 1966 Sportsmobile Camper https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=...mp;start=0

Hey Fredybear, Victor gave them to me And he found them in his basement
Yes I like them
They are ABS plastic, precut, well-formed to the body of the bug and seem to be readily available from the usual sustpects (like J-bugs, for example, or whoever)
There are also heavier fiberglass ones out there at, again, some of the usual suspects (like J-bugs, for example, or whoever) plus the fiberglass companies for our scene, like maybe Mark V or Glass Action I suspect.
I am going to stick some sound deadening on the back of them before I screw them on to deaden any vibration.
Because this is Samba time, not my time, I must now say:
THANK YOU VICTOR!!!!!!!! So very cool of a brother, and so typical of this whole Volkswagen scene.
I can't wait to mount the speakers and wire the components. If my maker is willing I'll have a post on that whole situation in the near future, I think is a bitchin' set up that is about to get unleashed, proportionate to this little tin can of a car. _________________ 1966 Sportsmobile Camper https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=...mp;start=0
