Here are the parts. One question, carpeting or no carpeting? If no carpeting, would the floor be red since the interior is red or would it be the body color?  |

Thanks. I want A. To be accurate, B., to make sure I do this the way the group overall wants it done. I will add the carpeting. I might see if I have a set of buckets close to those. If not I will go with the kit bench.

Also I didn't get the gauge panel or a shifter so will have to figure something out. I did not get the arm rests or interior trim plates.

Factory A 990 Mopars (Light weight drag cars) Had carpeting, since it was lighter than the rubber mat that was also available. Un like Ford, who used the heavy rubber mat for a bit before they realized it was so heavy...
Also... The factory light weight cars all got the Bostrom bucket seats...No bench Unless the purchaser wanted it with a bench. bench seats are HEAVY...
Looks like you guys are on your way!!! Gonna be a cool build when done!!!

I think buckets seats are the way to go too.

I know the seats aren't a perfect match but they're fairly close.
