Probably ACC or Auto Custom Carpet. I ended up ordering mine "untrimmed" which gave me more material on the firewall. It always amazes me that when you look at molded carpets they always look so nice and crisp. Then they shove them in a tiny box and you attempt to unfold them and whoa....doesn't look anything like you think. Personally I would gladly pay more for them to ship them in a big box and not have to deal with all the wrinkles and creases. It's also not the best fit for a 75 floorpan but that's a whole nuther story......

Okay - thanks guys.
I'll go with the Firethorn. I'll get samples of it from each company and go from there.
And yeah, I agree they should ship in larger boxes or at least give the option at added cost (of shipping).

greg, seeing your project for the first time today,....

Got the interior wrapped up and in pretty good condition. Here is a pic of what it looked like when I got the car, and then a pic of where it is now. This spring I also finally, replaced the window channel fuzzies, and the door channel rubber. I installed the door locks, and rebuilt the linkage for the locks. While I was there I put some x-mat from Eastwood in doors and they both close with a very satisfying "Thunk".

I then moved on to replace the waterpump as it was getting loose. This got a little out of hand but I'm glad it did. I pulled the timing cover and found the timing chain was very loose, and since I was there, I also pulled the steering linkage, K-member, exhaust and oil pan. I was tired of the leaks and the grungy look of everything and got to work.

When I got things apart and cleaned up the car reviled some more of its rough past. I found a completely mangled motor mount on the drivers-side, which explains the huge stack of spacers that I knew were under it.

I also found that the oil pan had had a rough go of it and has had some welding done on it and at some point had been pushed up tight against the oil pickup. The unfortunate part is, that the way it was done the pan holds about a half a quart of oil after an oil change.

Putting the nicely painted parts back together.

nice to see progress.

Looks like the car is getting some needed attention, looking good eh

The transformation is coming along nicely, great job!

Looks great! The car is impressive all over but I especially love that interior! Looks mint!

Got the booster and new master on as well as NOS wiper fluid bottle (had that stored for YEARS).

Spent time on New Years Eve day removing the front suspension and have been working since then clean and replace all the bushings and ball joints.

More Cleaning and painting

Things are starting to look good.
