Unhappy Re: jimbosprint 1972 C20 - the good, the bad, and the ugly

So I am about 90% disappointed with the vinyl floor. It seems like a durable material, but other than that I don't have much nice to say.

It just doesn't fit right under the gas pedal, around the hump, and on the passenger side. If you push it to the floor under the pedal, the passenger side comes off the floor and leaves a big gap by the kick panel. If you push the passenger side to the floor, the vinyl comes up under the gas pedal. I don't know if the folds from shipping will ever relax and go away. It doesn't seem to matter if you get the vinyl hot and set weight on it while it cools, the lumps come right back.

To be completely honest, about 20% of that disappointment is with myself for not doing the best possible job. I have no experience and I should have just paid a professional. Maybe I'll order another one and have the upholstery shop install it. $$$ Costly mistake $$$.
