It is unbelievable that this is so difficult to get right.
All of these "restoration" suppliers should easily be able to demand proper pattern and type replacement carpet/floor mat sets from their suppliers.
There's nothing magical about loop carpet or getting the placement of cutouts right, or getting a proper surging of the edges.
It's not like we are tring to get these for extreme cheap----$235 for replacement isn't a wallet killer, but it isn't chickenfeed either.
What the hell is going on here?!?
Not that I am doing one, but how are people getting concours restorations done that meet the mark??
Has anyone talked to Mike McGinness at Banzai?
What has Charlie at Zeddfindings had to say? He's a judge for cris-ake!
Judging from the quality of the reproduction work that Bryan (LBO730) did on the shift boots and handbrake covers I 'd be up for asking him to do the work for me. I've got original carpets that are good enough as patterns with all the proper cutouts, etc. and he has demonstrated his ability!
Surely this carpet wouldn't be a limitation for a leatherworker/upholsterer that knows his stuff!!
Should this become a "group buy"??
Why don't we have these anyway????
Knowledgeable people use this site daily as reference for their "works in progress", yet we never have shown the organization and purchasing power shown on TT.net or HybridZ.com
