The car is a 1970 Challenger. I will post pictures
of the nails and the locations in the floor. This is very odd because the car has never been apart.

Hi Alan

I know where you are going with this, but I need to know if this was done by the factory in special cases.

I am serious about lining up the barrel cuda with the candy cuda on any of the 400 highways. Nice vids by the way

Not really a highway car... I can't wait until Dave M. lets me behind the wheel of the "White Hat Special"

We only need a 1/4 mile. That is what the moparts readers would love to see on you-tube.

Then we can show Dave M what a prostock burn out looks like in a stock challenger.

Ok i do upholstery for a living and some of the old timers used nails back in the day, they didn't have the spray glue like we do today. My old boss told me a story one time about putting in a set of carpet with nails and about an hour after the car was picked up it burnt to the ground from hitting a wire. So i would have to say the carpet has been replaced at one time.

Are the nails date coded with a pentastar?

Pictures please!

I tore apart a 62 Ford Galaxie that had nails. Looked like stubby carpet tacks, only a little bigger.Also looked like they came out of some kinda air powered gun.

Okay I'll bite, How do you use nails? Do they penetrate the metal?


I can't afford this. mark

The only car I've seen with nails in the carpet was a 1962 Chrysler 300H. This was the carpeted trunk, btw. You can see pics of the car on the link below.
