Default Underdash Sound Deadener

The underdash sound deadener material is missing from my 65 vert. I just received a kit from Paragon and the material is blue jean colored. Looking at Dr Rebuild's catalog, they say their's is green. The fragments I see under my dash are brown. Can someone tell me what is correct and who sells the correct replacement. I would like to get the car judged some day. Don't know how big of a deal it is as far as points go.

Thanks for your input.

Are you talking about the uncoated jute-like material across the top (where the wiper linkage is), or the hard-faced dash mats on the vertical surface attached with the rubber retainer pins?

Talking about the jute across the top that is glued on. The stuff I received from Paragon is made from blue and white fibers not jute.

I would like to get the car judged some day so I also need to know who supplies the correct lower insulation with the rubber retainers with the M on them.

Thanks again John. You have been a great help to me.

I don't think anyone's going to question the color of the upper dash insulation - it's a multi-colored blend of fibers, and I've seen several different overall shades.

I haven't bought any of the lower dash mats in a long time, but I doubt if there's more than one or two outfits making them; maybe someone who has bought them recently will chime in.
