Frankly, its a great concept but I also have installed numerous folded carpets with pretty good results. Im not opposed to buying it, just seeing if its worth the extra $$. If it makes for a nicer finished product and easier install, then that is certainly a plus. Im ready to install a carpet in a 69 B Body with a console 4 speed. Lets hear it!! MB

I bought a set for my Duster (manual trans) and it fits the floor pan contours perfectly, no wrinkles, warps, or wierdness. The sides and ends are cut a bit oversize so you can trim to fit exact to your sills and under dash.

I put it in my Daytona and it pretty much fit like a glove, well worth the additional expense. Hopefully he'll decided to do it again barring the economics of it all....

No promise of delivery date.But where else can you get a 1 piece carpet? It seemed to be a pet project he was proud of, so unless he loses money, I think he is still doing it. He said I could come to the new shop to pick it up as I go to St. Louis on regular basis. He is the kind of guy we need to support as he is really dedicated to the stuff he makes and the accuracy of it.

Unfortunate news on the carpet I suppose, I guess i'll have to make due with the old standby. In most cases, i've had decent results with the folded carpet and the fact that this is a console car should make some of the ugliness that you usually see around the 4 speed hump seem less noticeable. Thanls everyone for the replies and critiques...much appreciated MB

I would'nt have posted the info had I not heard it straight from the horses mouth, and I talk with Dave on a semi regular basis. Dave must have gotten a few more calls and changed his mind. So thats where I got my information. I don't just pull the info out of my B_TT and post up for no reason. SO HERE'S TOO YOU MLR 426 Last edited by MLR426; 09/05/12 09:50 AM.
