Re: [FWDLK] Kanter Carpet kits

Larry, I forget what car you have, but, especially if you only need 
black material
(57+ Dodges had cut-pile, not loop pile) and/or if you have a suitable 
carpet remnant,
for stitching/pattern match, and/or if someone can provide you with 
stitching/pattern
matches from their own car, any competent local upholstery shop can 
custom-make
carpeting for your car, which will also be a perfect match, to your 
car's particular
floor pan configuration.

No "oops"-moments  involved, and that upholstery shop should be able to 
get exact-same
carpeting, if it's not already on hand, and, you can examine whatever 
they do have,
before it's ever installed onto your car.

Our cars did not have molded carpeting, just a couple sheets of carpet 
matting laid down
and cut-to-fit, over 3/4" (??) jute padding.

BTW, and at least on Dodges, there was no sewn selvage installed along 
the cut-edge
of the front carpet section, where it  over-lies the rear carpet section 
by several inches.

Very simple construction, and you WILL be satisfied with the results, or 
else you will know to
whom to complain, if it's not OK with you.
