vette-kid Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 We removed the toe board to redo it and are ready to put it back together. There was some sort of burlap sealing it to the floorboard, which is clearly rotted. Any idea what that material was and what we can use as a replacement?

jpage Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Call Restoration Specialties in PA as they have the correct material. It's a 1/16 in. thick treated webbing used for that purpose. It comes in several widths. I just replaced mine. Just cut it to length,mark and punch the holes. i glued mine on with upholstery glue to keep it in place. Originally, I think it was riveted in places to the board.They also carry the correct hoodlacing and nails if you should need those. Their number is 814-467-9842 and ask for Jeff. They also carry a good bit of rubber and other trim items that you might need. If you have any questions or need help, PM me as I used to work there. Incidently, if you have any issues with the windows rolling up and down, I can rebuild the special channels that are in the front doors and make new window sweeps. You'll get the car going in no time!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette-kid Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Thanks @jpage! I've sent them an email with the picture, I'll follow up next week with a call. I'll let you know if we have window issues. We do have one out right now for new glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
