'70 Duster Revival: Drag Racing Heart | Pro Touring Soul

Using a special adhesive, we were able to cut and lay down the carpet in its final position. Unrolling the carpet and letting it set on its own for a few days before installation helped to ensure most of the creases were removed. There's some debate as to whether gluing carpet down is a good idea or not. After 1 summer of driving, I'm very thankful we did.

I ordered most of the interior components from Dante's Mopar Parts. (Another great vendor to the Mopar community) Everything was accounted for and arrived in a timely manner from the time of order. (A bulk discount also helped justify the strain on the UPS guy's back)

After the carpet was installed, I cut and installed a .032" chunk of sheet aluminum as the divider between the trunk and driver's compartment. With future plans to drag race I read up on the NHRA rule book and found this as a requirement. (.024" steel would have also worked) I'll probably never break any speed records but I do feel safer with a metal divider versus the factory cardboard piece.

Next in line were the door panels and the arm rests. The new pieces from Legendary looked great and when the tape was removed from the chrome the interior really began to take shape. Finally, the seats found their home inside the car.

I absolutely love having the new car smell in a classic ride!
