Custom floor mat for my 29 Dodge Bros

[stakeside]

I believe Dodge didn’t supply floor mats for 29 trucks but with the cold weather coming I have eliminated some cold drafts.

I got mat material from Restoration Supply. Note the edging material. I used 5/16” rubber tubing. The trick was to split with single cut. See pic of wooden block with knife edge. Placing the 3M mastic was a bit messy.

I also placed a cocoa mat on the firewall. There was a material placed there by factory. Does help quite engine noise

Bit late now, but super glue would have been less messy than the mastic. It's the answer for fastening rubber.

Just curious, did yours have a diamond pattern steel floor originally or was it wood?

Mine will be diamond (like the running  boards) once finished but this looks like it would be a nice mat over the steel. I'd probably want one that's easily removable though in order to keep it original.. 

Very nice!

Always learning from you guys.

Mine has a wood floor.

Not sure what was original material used on firewall but I choose to use the coco mat from Restoration Supply. Great sound deadening.

sorry it flipped upside down???????
