hi,  i ordered a carpet from i don't remember if it was concours or who, but i had problems with it,   1st i have a conv,   the carpet i had was ok but fadded,  so i wanted to change it,   the carpet i got was way to big, even after i cut a few places it still didn't fit,  sent it back,  ended up just dying for color,  worked real good, i used RYE dye i believe,. did the job i might have to redye it to make the color deeper,  but for all the trouble and time plus money saved,  such a easy fix

My problem is I don't have any carpet to start with. Maybe someone out there has had some luck with a prefab piece...

I haven't had any luck finding my receipt for the carpet. I think 57 Ford Kustom (Tom) gave
me the info. It came out of the midwest. I was happy with the fit and the way it installed.
Maybe Tom will see this. I'll look further.

Hi Ron and Matt.
   The place I gave you was    automotiveinteriors.com   in Fall River Mass. Roger (RAWsr) also got his front floor mat from them and had them add some lenght to the toe board area. I also got my seat covers from them good people to work with.

I used these guys several years ago. I was very happy with thier carpet in my Fairlane 500.
