hey guys i havent shampood this carpet since i got the car almost 2 yrs ago. it was pretty nasty. also had a heatercore explode, which is why the carpet is greenish and heavily soiled in spots. theres still some coolant soaked into the insulation underneath, im planning on getting a black carpet evenutally anyhows, when i swap everything to all black.

pulled back the carpet and found a little suprise.








not the change, look a little closer if you havent noticed it already!


haha poor little rodent, wonder how he got in there, and for how long he was in there. ive heard people finding shit under their carpets, but not a mummified mouse.

anways heres some before/ after pics i snapped.






noticable difference, not the greatest, but like i said ill be doing an all black interior swap soon... so it wont really matter how clean this one is.

If I've told you once I've told you a hundred times keep those
small block Chevies away for your Stang,all they ever dop is roll over and play dead!
Well at least they left you money for the cost of a decent funeral,LOL.

I guess you guys didn't get it.I was making fun of the Dead Mouse that you
found under the Carpet.Back in the day a Small Block Chevy was reffered to as
a "Mouse" or "Mouse Motor" due to its petit size and good Horsepower output
compared to the engines of the day back in the 50's.When I saw the picture of the
Dead Rodent under the Carpet it made me laugh and think that Another Chevy
Bites the Dust.When the 5.0L cam,e back on the seen in 1982 its main competition on the Street,Showrooms and Drag strips was the z28 Camaro,just as it had been the main rival of the 1970 Boss 302 Mustangs inj the late 60's.Now the Mustang would flex its Muscles in the following Years and revolutionize the parts Aftermarket.
You guys have it easy now like the chevy guys did for years before us,you couldn't
get any decent cylinder heads for a Small Block Fords like now.We were limited to
best Heads we could find that Ford would make like the 1969 351W 4 Barrel head.
They were better the 302 Head but not by much,when the Aftermarket clued into
the 5.0L revolution we finally started to get good parts like those Bowtie boys had.
If you go to the Track now Their is always huge amount of Stangs because of this
and that Dead Mouse kind of captured that spirit.
