Got one of the arm rest framework done. Picture later. Got the carpet, vinyl, cloth, scrim, foam, landau foam and windlace core today. Foams were vacuum packed, had to open and let them relax for a day or so. In the meantime I gutted the interior getting ready for the carpet. Found some surface rust on the floorpan so scraped it and painted with rust converter. Tomorrow I'll paint it with a layer of Rustoleum oil base. The pan had bubble wrap liquid nailed to the floor and a layer of jute over that. Now, my question is: What should I put down on the floor under the carpet? I do have a roll of open cell foam that is aluminum foil on both sides. I've used it on the toeboard and it works real good killing heat. What about the Lowes rubberized flashing, then the foil clad foam and carpet on top of that? Do away with the jute altogether.

Yes, got a roll of it today. Floor is painted and will be ready for sound/heat layer tomorrow.
Next question/poll. What color boarder should I use on the carpet? Here is a picture of a sample with off white and the blue vinyl I will be using on the seats. Keep in mind the car is painted white. Short piece on the end with exposed thread is out.

I'd vote for the white with a blue thread stitching it together.

I like the blue because it matches the seats. (If your seats were white, I would choose white).

Thanks for the inputs, kind of split just like on the home front. Stitching won't show on the carpet BUT will show on the seats and door cards. Torn between using a blue thread or be bold with white. All inputs welcome.

I was going to say something about the stitching...I lean toward blue thread only because if
my stitching got a bit off center
it would be less noticeable?

OK been working on the carpet boarder. Didn't like the puffy look of the vinyl as pictured above. Took a nap and thought about it. Shaved a little off the edge, then sewed the vinyl on. Much flatter and a little more appealing to the eye. Also used blue (teal, because it's what I have) thread. What do ya think?

The TEAL blue/green is a tough color to go right with anything, but as you used it as a high light thread works great.
