Carpet isntalled with nails?

It takes about 10 seconds a hole with a mig welder to fill those in. I was so close to buying that car if the guy wasn't such a weirdo. Looks like you have a solid project though. I'd go with the factory blue because its original and with black your body work has to be perfect. Doing perfect body work on a car with 30' quarter panels and a million lines and angles is VERY time consuming and costly. Nice scoop though, I'm envious of your 4spd.
