Will everyone who sells ACC start to get the new exact carpet, I just saw that JC Whitney carries the ACC carpet for the B-Bodies. Who knows? The Shadow Knows! But he ain't on this fraking forum!

This is a '69 so I would assume it is incorrect being mounted forward of the pad and through the carpet?

Shipping costs depends on ZIP code but we are probably going to do a blanket (complete) cost that will be good for any city in the U.S. Since carpet is not our main product line, we will not be set up at any shows to distribute it. I am not sure if ACC will be able to bring this product to shows unless it is pre boxed in the small containers. It might be very difficult to keep the sets together if they do not already have them boxed. (Not to mention the additional space to be able to ship it in a flat/stacked manner.) On a separate note, I have spent the past two days trying to reference the "grommet" scenario. I am veering toward the opinion that not every car had this feature due to different suppliers of the carpet. I have found a few cars that did not have the clips in place to hold the carpet/grommets. My original Challenger was not even drilled to have the clip screwed into place. One car I found simply had a slot in the carpet (no grommet) that allowed it to be slipped over the unique clip. I will post all the photos of all the samples I documented after I get them downloaded. Hopefully this will shed some light on this subject! Thanks.

Alaska and Hawaii are part of the USA but shipping is not generally friendly to us. You might want to alter your offer to read "Continental US".

Here are some findings with the variations on the carpeting. Notice the difference in the jute padding that was in this car. The tags read for a "Barracuda" but were in a Challenger! The vendor is also different from the J.P. Stevens style that is predominately found in E Body vehicles. There is a slot in the carpet instead of a brass grommet. I have not found an E Body with the brass grommet in the carpet as of yet. While talking with Bill Embree, he stated that the attaching feature was only to hold the carpet in place while the workers did their interior assembly jobs. Once the interior was installed, the clips and slots had served their purpose to hold the carpet in place. This was more of an assembly feature incorporated to keep employees from kicking the carpet out of place before it could be permanently positioned. Here are the pictures showing some of these features.
