I used a ACC carpet set for my 71 coupe. I purchased it several years prior to fitting it. The moulded pieces had gone quite flat from being packed in a box for so long.
I left each piece in the sun for awhile which helped retain it's moulded shape and made it easier to fit each section.
The rear quarters are by far the worst to do and at first I though they would not fit, however with a bit of heat and trimming got them to fit well.
Having said that it's not a job I would like to do again:grr:
