Have you tried calling OPGI? I ordered PUI through them and had the parts in hand in 2 weeks.

What color do you need? Bench or buckets? I have a set of brand new PUI bucket seat covers in the '70-'71 Pearl White color that I will not be using because I'm putting BMW convertible seats in my car.

Personally, (unless you want to do a frame off resto) I would do the carpets. However, once you have the carpet out you might want to take the time to clean the seat belts and maybe run any wiring for your speakers. You also might want to think about the insulation under the carpet. Maybe some new dynamat to replace the jute?

Front seat July 7 and rear door panels July 16 all to be shipped to my house by the last week of July for $1000.

Looks like $600 bucks more for door panels and seat covers and much more of a wait 4 months!!!

When (last year) I did the R&R on my rear seat covers from Legendary the lead time was ~8 weeks. Possibly their supplier(s) and/or more business - COVID-19? Great products from Legendary though.

Yes I already cleaned the seat belts when I tore the carpet out last week.
I’m just gonna por15 the floor for surface rust.
Never used the Dyna May stuff seems like a lot of cost and work. Again not a frame off keeper.

Last weeks fun


Jute that comes with carpet is good enough.
not a fan QUOTE=chip-powell;1259488]Personally, (unless you want to do a frame off resto) I would do the carpets.

Yes I have used ledgendary covers on my Roadrunner last year the quality is great.
I have also used pui and they are not too bad.

The reason that I suggested to maybe use dynomat is because I left the jute alone when I replaced my carpet, and the heat coming up through the floor boards was baking my wife's and my feet. I pulled the carpets again an put dynomat just under the front area of the floor and it made a huge difference.

When I installed new carpets, I used FatMat, same type of thing as Dynamat but a bit cheaper.

Thanks cool
Trust me if I had the stuff here I would probably put it in. Just another thing to spend money on.
