33 Coupe Interior 44        11/25/04

I fastened the wood with two screws and transferred the pattern that will be a clearance hole for the down-bars. Once I had both sides marked, I cut them out. 
 

 

 

Now that I have some clearance holes for the bars, I'm ready to start cutting out a piece of carpet and start fitting it.
 

 

 

The carpet that I'm going to use is from Teas Design but is made in Norway. It's hard to tell what color it is here because the flash washed it out but It's just a little lighter than the leather which should complement each other very well.
 

 

 

The carpet comes 54" wide so I had plenty of extra to trim once I had the length I needed. I'll be leaving the carpet a little long but cutting it to the width of the piece of wood. The reason I'm leaving it long is so I can tuck it up under the deck-lid area and also below the floor. The trunk floor piece will butt-up next to this piece and get rolled around the bottom section of the floor. This way the ends of both pieces of carpet will be hidden and covered by other pieces for a nice clean look. At least that's the plan.
