Default 1970 Beetle Interior Help...

I just purchased a 1970 VW Bug Autostick that I'm am going to restore into a Georgia Bulldog Helmet. I just received the custom made carpet that goes in the floor however I need to have a paper pattern or sizing for the way the carpet needs to be cut.

Does anyone have those measurements or can get me a paper pattern to trace from?

Please email me at woof@34dawgs.com if you can help.

Thanks,

Shaggy

Remove the seats, remove the old carpet, lay the new carpet in (I'm assuming that since it's "custom" that it's custom for the car in question) - carefully fit the molded / pre-cut carpet into the contours on the floor - trim as needed.

If you decide to use the old carpet as a "pattern" do yourself a favor - don't trim the new carpet to close to the outline of the old carpet - you'll end up coming up short.

By the way - just a matter of accurate word choice but you're not going to "restore" it into a football helmet - restoration would be returning it to like new original equipment - you're going to modify it to look like a football helmet -
