Yes Dave, need it for a 71 in black please. Let me know a total.

It just amazing to me how some people think.Here is a product that is going to be offered to us,by all acounts,a far superior product to what's currently available now,and all some people can do is pizz and moan about this and that.It's pretty simple people,if you want your carpet to fit better,pay a little more,and have it shipped in the big box.If you want to settle for the same old crap,buy what's been out there for years or come pick up my old,once rolled up carpet that never did flatten out over 5 years time for free once I get a set from Dave.Freedom of choice,it's a great thing!!

Thanks Jim,
I will say AGAIN that we offer carpet that is basically the same as what you get from AAC EXCEPT:

Our toe pads are consistently placed in the same position with every set. The toe pad is no different than what you normally get, you are simply guaranteed that it will be positioned in the same place on the carpet. This is important due to the way the carpet fits against the console hump. One inch off and you will ALWAYS have an area that buckles or bunches up.

The manufacturer will NEVER let our products sit, scoot or rub on their manufacturing/warehouse floor. You wouldn't believe the dirt that will accumulate if this step does not take place. Of course if you have black carpet this won't be such a big deal. Black "absorbs" and hides the dark colored dirt it collects.

Our carpet is taken directly off the manufacturing line and stacked flat in our containers. We actually pay extra for this because the normal process of the manufacturing equipment (that rolls the carpet) has to be interrupted and the line rerouted. We then have it shipped to our facility where it is wrapped in bubble wrap (FLAT) and placed into a double corrugated 70"X34"X11" box. Frank Badalson was one of the first to take advantage of this process and he said it was perfect. He said it made it so much easier to work with and that this would be a major benefit for the hobby.
Anyone who has decided they want this type of product, please let me know this week so we can order what you need. For those who have been contacting us on regular basis, we have you on a list and your items will automatically be included in this stock order. Thanks again!

Another thought might be to pack more than one set of the same style in the same shipping container to save a few bucks? For example, I'd consider buying two sets for my Duster if shipped together at a reduced price.

Hi Scott,
I can only fit one set per box. Since the center hump in the carpet is about 6-7 inches high, both pieces are stacked together and surrounded by bubble wrap, that takes up the total width of the 11 inch wide boxes. If I had larger shipping containers to accommodate additional sets, it would compound to a cost that is already considered excessive. Thanks for the reply!

No trouble Dave, I was thinking you could place a thin piece of foam or plastic between them and sandwhich them tightly together and wrap the foam/bubble around the works since they'd be the same shape/style. Anyway, just thinking out loud.

I don't mean to high-jack but school me a little on carpet, this might help some others on deciding what to order. 80/20 loop was pre-'72 and cut pile was post '72? As far as the heel pad how was the original done, was it sewn-in or glued on? I believe ACC's carpet now comes with a 1/2" jute padding (this is based on paddockparts.com carpet, it is ACC read the description below) how did this compare to the original?

Paddockparts.com website states:
Our carpet has original style plastisol compound sewn-in heel and toe pad, 1/2 inch thick jute pad backing material, serged edges, premolded shape fits all parts of floor pan, contoured fit over transmission tunnel. 1 year manufacturer's warranty. No further discount applies.

Pictures are worth a thousand words!
Here are pictures showing the type of container and packaging that the new carpet will be shipped in. The product looks FANTASTIC. As seen in the photos, the carpet is very similar to how it probably arrived and was shipped to the factory prior to installation. Crisp, flat and shaped just like it came off the manufacturing line. For those who ordered this product, it will be shipped starting tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone for their support with this venture.

Dave-One of those black sets looks like mine!! Can't wait to see it next week.Looks well worth the wait.Thanks

Dave:

As discussed in our e-mail of 10-20-08 and my conversation with John that morning.....I'll be at your place tomorrow afternoon to pick up and pay for one of the black ones for my '69 B body.
Thanks

Jim

Thanks for the R&D that went into trying to make a better product for the hobby. And the packaging is over and beyond anything anyone has tried. I know there were several people involved so thanks to all. Time will tell us about the quality and I hope it's better than even all involved expected.

Do you want a little CHEESE with that WINE?
The guys coming out with a new product, lets try it and compare to what's out there...I need 2 sets, never looked into it yet but I would like to know what the differences are with the ones out there....

I'm anxiously waiting for my carpet! Any reviews from those of you that got yours already? Dave

sounds like the same carpet,made a little better from the same guys,shipped in a better container...same as having your suit pressed and hanging on a hanger for you or presented in a nice box for you to take home...i'll take 2...

Dave,
How long will it take to receive the carpet after the order is placed?

Usually within a week. We are getting ready to order another load sometime next week. If there are any other people interested, let us know and we can add it to the order. (Especially if it is a color other than black.) Thanks!
