Trying to find source for eyelets that are crimped to rear quarter panels (behind the seats) for 67 Coupe and also the kick panel carpet pieces. If someone knows of source, curious how to crimp them on.

Go to any of the scrapbooking hobby stores, they and some of the sewing notions stores have eyelets, the tools to install them, etc.
