Re: [MBZ] Templates
There's even a Peele Acres subdivision here. I was born and raised in Nash Co., NC, (Nashville/Rocky Mount); USAF brought me to Goldsboro with B-52s in Mar '79; retired 31 Oct 81; SWMBO was by then Executive Director of Community Arts Council; had not had good reason to move until the break-in last Sat. Yep, Edwards Mansion, I remembered after I went to bed last night. I was Base Civil Engineer at George AFB near Victorville, CA, 1975 through '77 and Sondrestrom AB, Greenland in '78; back to B-52s here in '79.

Re: [MBZ] Templates
Figures. Will be coating the spare wheel well with bed liner over POR or rustoleum no rust. Tool cubby is rusted up, so full POR there. It has a little rubber mat that was being drowned last I saw. Did not get a good look at the floor mat because of the car cover living in the trunk. To do carpet, I have to source something akin to the interior carpet. Shamrock green. Nobody has that as replacement option for the SL. I could just go with bamboo or sable for carpeting and let the green Tex, dash and door panels complement. Then it is no trouble finding a rug for the boot. clay On Mar 29, 2012, at 8:06 PM, j...@windwireless.net wrote: >> Single carpet, crease from floor to back seat panel? > > The fuel tank panel in ours was already carpeted.

Re: [MBZ] Templates
My '78 had side panels in the trunk as well as carpet on the floor. The panels were all carpeted, IIRC. Does this mean that you got the trunk open?
