My '85 targa hot rod has a pretty-well stripped interior. All carpet - gone. Rear seats - gone. Console - gone. Shifter boot - gone. Factory seats - gone (now recaros). Appbiz door panels. Parchment shelf still intact. Rennline pedals, floorboards, tranny cover - installed, along with vintage walnut steering wheel and shifter. All business with a nice vintage feel.
I need to put some rear seats back in to cart the kids around a bit. Should I put the new rear seats directly on the painted body shell, or go thru the steps to run new carpets?? Are there gonna be heat issues for the kids in summer? I guess I could run dynamat, closed-cell foam, then carpet, then floor mats, but seems like a lot of work, weight, and formality for maybe no real reason. Can't I just glue the new seat bottom to the body shell, and tuck the carpets under the parchment shelf and call it a day?
Would love some thoughts on this. Thanks, Dave
