Not too bad, just watching the race.
Gonna go to Lowes and pick up some blue indoor/outdoor carpeting to finish the Bronco up with..............It gets muddy, pull it out and turn the hose on it, hour later its ready to go back in.

Stuck here at work again, pretty slow day too. Getting tired of the crappy weather here also. Good idea on the indoor/outdoor carpet.

The original carpet and insulation got wet and destroyed, I fixed the leak so its time to get carpeting again. OEM carpet kits are over $250..........this thing is going to see mud, dirt, and dust. I want to be able to clean it out quick, so this is the best deal, cheap too!
Line-X would have been my second choice, but wife hates it and it is spendy.

I should be working today too, just decided to slack today.

Too bad you couldn't go with a rubber mat floor, like my 67 had in it.

I gave up trying.......... Big $$$$ for new material, can't find the right size/color in the J-yards to modify.

Yeah, I suppose. Well, what you're doing should work. Easy to clean, anyway.

I have done it before in another rig, after its held down by seats, shifter, trim, it looks real good.
I did manage to break my windshield from the inside while installing my new dash pad.
Now I have a un-cracked dash and a cracked windshield......bummer.

Best thing to do. Otherwise, you might have taken something bigger to the windshield in anger!

There was a 4lb hammer from another job at hand, it was tempting.
Crack now covers half the windshield from side to side..........Of course, my insurance does not cover it on this vehicle.
