Under your dash?
I didnt see a section for interior conversation, so it this is in the wrong spot, please move it. I just installed the front portion of my new carpet in my Burb, but the carpet only goes so far up under the dash, above that it looks horrible and junky, whats "supposed" to be there? or what have you done to make yours look neat?
thanks junk

Re: Under your dash?
.. You must be missing your firewall insulation. Maybe someone tore part of it off. Do you see any of it around the steering column?

Re: Under your dash?
Hehe. Believe it or not I still have that glass in the glove box of my ramp truck. I was gonna give it to you at the '08 National meet at Rons, but I broke on the way and never got past Cambridge Ohio. I will trade you the glass for a set of those "things" that go above the carpet if you find them. hehe. I will send you a PM, I need to ask you about some other parts.

Re: Under your dash?
Jodie,once you get the insulation in, try painting everything under there flat black.It will usually blend so well as to be just plain ignored.I've seen tons of ceilings in commercial and institutional buildings done that way.

X2 aside from the insulation, I painted the rest flat black.
