I'm looking for the best "correct" carpet kit for my 68. Any ideas or suggestions?

I believe that their are only 2 mfgs. Al Knoch and AAC (I think they make them foR everyone else ie. Wilcox, Corvette Am., Volunteer, etc). Some here prefer AAC over AK and vice versa.

Hi vb,
Well... I meant does it need to be as crummy as the original was... or... which one fits with the least head ache... or 'correct' in some other way ???
Regards,
Alan

"Correct" reminds me too much of "I have a 72 that's 100% original, what's it worth"?

I bought a set recently from Willcox for my '80. Very little customizing needed (meaning trimming) and the result was pretty good for a first try. The big moulded pieces fit well and the smaller stuff was really close in size and shape. Plus the price was better than right. I like it and recommend it.

I got it for my 76 and the fit and quality was great.

The OP should find out what brand you are talking about. Wilcox just sells other people's parts.
