Here's what Scott81 has been doing for a friend in Orlando this weekend. A complete carpet install in a 69 BB Vette. From what he tells me, it's not something he wants to do again in a hurry.;ay

Very Nice.
Blue is very popular in the states.  I've seen lots of shots with blue vettes.

I've ordered new carpet too, but I have to wait until my son can get around to doing it. He's flat out getting all the last minute cars ready for the Summernats.
He does some rool nifty hand made carpet with matching mats all from the same material.
Anyone for leather floor coverings?;39

Bob is correct, not a job I want to do again any time soon.  It was a much easier job in my 81 because of the big back window and several changes made to the C3's over the years, but the 69 was not fun at all.  Kneeling on cement for 2 days and being twisted up like Gumby didn't help matters either.

Tru-fit- is that the buisness name of a shop or is that the name of the carpet type? Where can I get it?

There is a guy that has corvette carpets in Penrith NSW BUT the carpets arent a very good fit! I recomend getting a custom made one or import a set from the US!
