2-dr Carpet set

[John Meyer <donkiyoti@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

I've also been curious about these carpets on eBay from 1A Auto. I 
checked out their website and compared it to Auto Custom Carpets. When 
this topic came up a year or so ago, ACC was identified as the maker of 
just about all replacement carpets. For a '65, you would get 80/20 
nylon-rayon loop from both places. ACC wants $250 for a molded carpet. 
I would like to know if 1A gets theirs from ACC.

I think it was concluded that nobody can supply an exact duplicate of 
the original carpet material.
