IML: Carpet: Gary Goers vs. ACC

[Chris Hawkins <imperial1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

ACC carpets are fine for daily drivers, or when exact
duplication of original pile and texture is not
crucial.  This path looks best when all carpet is
replaced throughout interior - kick panels, doors,
etc.

Some owners of early '60 Mopars are currently using a
residential carpet that is extremely close to the
original pile and texture.  This requires some expert
cutting, stitching and reinforcing, but the results
are quite nice.  

Haven't seen what Gary Goers is offering - nor which
of the two approaches it resembles the most.  You
might ask for a sample of carpet from him before
ordering.  I do know that he does interiors for the
300 Letter cars, and they used the same black carpet
as Imperials.  So it is possible he has the right
stuff.
