F100 Get's Paint and New Carpet! 

Don't glue the carpet. If you insist on doing it, only do it where you think it is necessary, don't hose the whole floor down with spray glue. IME, some of the Dynamat will soften at the seams and stick to the backside of the carpet by itself. Speaking of Dynamat, I know you said the doors are going to be replaced but if you have any scraps left, pull your door panels and stick them to the inside of the door skin. Even a small chunk of it can kill that tin can thing. Also, a tip for seatbelt and seat bolt holes. Instead of cutting an X with a razor knife or hacking the carpet out, take a chunk of copper plumbing pipe, heat it with a torch and use it to melt a circle where the bolt goes. I just did the whole carpet, interior paint and sound deadening thing on my 80s toyota 4x4 a few months ago.

You should get sill plates for the edge of the carpet at the door

That was the inspiration I needed to continue to complete my 91 F-150 , I've been having so many things come up to stop progress but every new video helps keep me going thanks.👍

While you can't lay the carpet due to the rain it would be good chance to throw some paint on bare metal paint on the part of the transmission tunnel that you welded up otherwise it will start flash-rusting as soon as there's any moisture in the air (like then) and before long it will start to get seriously eaten away by corrosion and you'll be back to having a hole there again...

Carpet doesn't get glued to the floor. The seats, door seal plates, & seat belts are what hold it in position.

Maybe relocate the fuel tank. Cut open the old one , tack on a few hinges and make a hidden compartment.

I have never heard of glueing in a automotive carpet, i have pulled many carpets out if vehicles to perform repairs and never has one been glued. Good luck

Dude that looks so good already. Some people think you can't use a rattle can, if you do it right you can, and you did.

"Shawn with his stupid Jeep!". lol, Great video, I just got my first "old truck/car". I got a 1965 F100 standard cap long box. I'm loving the step by step details you are giving and the fact that the 'average Joe' can work on these with good outcomes. I really don't have any plans to spend $$$$'s on this truck but want it looking good... It's just an old truck to go on Nebraska gravel road rides with the wife and the hound. Keep up the great work. I see this video is 5 years old, so I'm looking forward to learn through your other videos.

Iv got to go with everyone else, dont glue the carpet down! Its a fitting carpet kit so the seal plates will hold it in place. We never glue carpet down at work unless you absolutely have to. It will make your life a pain if you ever have to pull it up to run wires ect. Plus glue will rip the foil off of the dynomat when you try to rip it up and can really mess up the hole floor. Good to know how much dynomat it took to do the cab though, might to the cab on the 64 one day.

this was a really helpful video as I'm getting ready to do the same on my 77 f100. thanks for the quality video!

i’ve got a 79, been thinking of getting the same carpet kit from LMC and this video sure as hell pushed me over the edge and it will be ordered here soon!

Instead of glueing the carpet down I'd just use some 3M spray adhesive only in areas where the carpet didn't fit down tightly. Great job with the Dyno-mat!

You have done a amazing job on your truck I’m very impressed keep the videos coming

It's looking good! A nice interior really transforms a car.

It's sounds quieter when you're in the cab talking you can tell the difference Awesome job looks great

Likely adding Dynamat to my 71 F-250 Camper Special - awesome to see how that process went on your Ford. Thanks!

Amazing what a little elbow grease and some spray paint can do. Work looks good so far. I second the sentiments of others about not gluing the carpet down. The seats, seat belts, and any other trim is what holds it in place, so there's no need for applying an adhesive.

Looking good, take your time. Maybe paint the pedal brackets and column with satin black Rustoleum. Door sill plates will look good too. Also be careful around that loop carpet with drills, it'll grab it in a hurry and give you a runner you don't want!

She's looking good, Craig....Big improvement...

Looks like you are doing a pretty good job, and you are right do everything while you have it apart.

Just a heads up man a full white topped dash is not the best idea the white with a gloss will flash on the windshield kind of like driving around with a piece of paper on your dash that puts up white glare on your windshield this is just from experience. And being a pinstriper of 12 years

Hope that cold isn't related to the Corona Virus....I always let your ads play out to benefit your work on these vids... great job and enjoy all you do from here in Dearborn Michigan

dude that dynamat is awesome that before and after is a HUGE difference

Gonna be insane to roadtrip this truck man :D

Try eBay for a firewall pad, I bought one and was very happy with the quality. The one I got is made of rubber not crappy "cardboard" like the original ones. Only cost me around $70 and I'm very pleased with it, it fit perfect! Definitely give it a look

I imagine the truck would have originally had factory sound deadening on the upper parts of the bulkhead above where the carpet ends, the old jute fibre stuff with the tar cover over it, so having the unfinished bulkhead above the original carpet or rubber matting wouldn't have been noticeable. Of course that old sound deadening doesn't last too well in hot areas like California being as it is just glued on and the adhesive doesn't survive the heat very well. Eventually it fails in enough places that the weight of the pads pulls it all away from the spots where it is still stuck leaving those patches of ginger fluff you often see in old vehicles...

Na Not a waste of time It’s all great content Without knowing Your help is all along the way. Thanks for sharing all your experiences so far. Keepem coming Thanks Again.👍👍👍👍

Its coming along it looks good. I can't wait the see the finish.

NO GLUE ...NO GLUE ...NO GLUE ...NO GLUE ...NO GLUE ...

You should rino line the floor and put the carpet on just for safe measure of no rust

Firewall installation pad is supposed to go in there, that is what covers the metal where the carpet doesn’t cover.

There is a plastic/rubber (depends on what company you get it from) shield that goes from the carpet up the fire wall that helps hide the carper seam at your feet.

the metal patch turned out better than expected tbh

Your channel is awesome!! I'm almost ready to lift my engine out. Having my 390FE rebuilt w a Performer Series Eldebrock intake & 750 carb, comp cam, 0.030 bore. Having trouble finding a set of hedders that have a bigger flang than 5/16". My truck is a 76 F250 390FE M code , Custom Camper Special w dual tanks, C6 auto, 3.54 Ltd slip Dana 60 rear end. Will be Dynamatting mine also. Keep up the great work!!

It's about damn time you put carpet in it lol. Looks great!

Im doing the same thing. I instaled a Firewall pad the covers the firewall and top of carpet.

Don't disconnect the fuel line. Just cut the carpet.

Can’t wait to see it all together

That's funny you taped off the name on the spray paint then said the name of it lol looking Sharp

My 62 is primed up inside and am thinking about finishing it , but ,Cali is a great place to paint w no humidity and it all drys fast anyhow it’ll be fine ( try that in Memphis (wich I’ve done since 78), the humidity is heavy with hazing sometimes without a controlled envirement anyhow , yo truck is lookin good son.

Looks sick dude! You did an amazing job as always bro

did not glue mine and its perfect

Footstep trim piece is a Sill plate... Velcro the carpet in..

Awesome job so far but I would not glue the carpet . The seat door sill plates etc will hold everything in place . Just let that carpet naturally settle & it will in time . Once glued in just a real pain to remove for any reason down the road .

Looks great bud!

I thought you traded the green seat belts for black ones?

Great job! Looks good!

I love this!!! Good shizz Craig!!!

Wow you keep going your going to have that new car smell in your truck

I've got the same problem, my firewall cover was all damp so I tore it out. Not saveable, and I'm not spending $300! I'm sure for such a small strip we can make our own.

Beautiful Workman I'm curious where did you get the carpet what website what company and what's the brand?

Lot's of good info.

National parts depot makes a replacement firewall pad that finishes the carpet edge up to the firewall

Man that looks so good. Let us know how it is further down the line. Been looking at getting a carpet kit for a while for my truck but just can't decide on which one.

Glue in the carpet... WHY? They were never glued in at the factory. Nice solid F-100! Love the Ford trucks. I have owned many Ford trucks. I have a 2008 F-150 that I bought new.

Good work Man!

very impressive my friend.!!!!

Looks awesome!

Nailed it!!

Seats should look really nice with the carpet

Really good job.

Have you seen those laser rust removers?Bloody amazing!

Holyy crap that looks mint

wow that looks great

Paint firewall black? Gloss or matte? Would help it blend in

Clean! I put Dynamat in my mustang!

Funny, my '68 F-350 had full metal inner roof panels, no headliner or middle seam, came from the factory that way. Why didn't your F-100 come that way?

Great work

Looks great

Glazing powder on those little bumps

I have the same truck and just did all this as well. I'm about to do new rubber trim all the way around. Are you ganna make a video on doing this anytime

In my 73 it has factory insulation in the roof which may help with the noise and heat. Just my .02 cents

looking mint man

Loving it!

Is that one of those rubber carpets or regular carpet. I can’t really tell.

What kind of paint and clear coat did you use? Might be doing this to mine soon.

Nice interior.

ur tuck is looking great

Good and bad from LMC? What was the bad, I heard of "quality" issues....

Awesome!!!!!

Hey whats up bro back when you primer the floor on the f150 , how many coats did you do ?

Looks good

Build a console but wait until you add a turbo so you can add gauges to it may be cool lol.

What carpet kit did you order Doing the same swap except with a zf5. Want to make sure it fits around the new tunnel correctly

What clear coat did you use?

Also yeeeeeessss another vid

I got a carpet from Stock Interiors and they just threw the edging trim stuff in the box like I’m supposed to sew it on myself! I don’t know what I’m going to do now I don’t have a sewing machine or the time to worry about one more thing

Happy new year

Hey hey can you tell me how you did the instrument panel or where I can get one like that

What I have done, and it may keep your mind at ease til you can afford the firewall cover....Just use some good sturdy cardboard and paint it Matte black....Will get ya by til you can afford the one you want.....

I would have done the vinyl floor carpets nice but then you worry bout spilling stuff

Will the next motor that goes into the F100 have Fuel Injection?

Where did you buy your instrument cluster from?

Hey Craig what happen to your best friend Chris the guy guy that drives the iroc camero.where is he

Why don't you paint the door jambs?

Get some 3M double sided tape and "tack" the carpet down with that.Do not glue it!

Steam and that roller of yours would lay that carpet down and everyone is right. NO GLUE>

where did you get those door panels?
