Preparing for the 50th Anniversary

It's been a while since the last update. Since the front end alignment not much has been done with Destiny (as a matter of fact I've spent more time with Project Snowback).

A couple of pictures of installation of the carpet underlayment, which is needed more for making the carpet sit nicely than for sound and heat insulation.

I first laid strips of jute padding (8mm thickness) lengthwise from pedals to the rear seat and then another set of strips crosswise. By applying shots of spray glue here and there, I ensured that the padding remained in place during the installation of carpet and seats.  I still re-used the old "furry" carpet. 

Later I found out that the crosswise strip on the seat platform should have not been applied. The seat rails tend to sink into the carpet and padding causing friction that prevents forward-backward movement of the seat.

This year the spring is early so the first visit out to fill her up with fresh gasoline was made on 11th March. After changing the oil and filter Destiny is ready for celebrating the 50th Anniversary season of Mustang.
