Default Best interior options

I am looking for door panels (standard) and a full carpet kit, perhaps a few other items as well... what's my best option as far as the usual suspect parts vendors.
looking for 1970 bright blue, I see allot online but the 1970 bright blue sure looks different from some of these places... looking for accurate color to original

A lot os people us OC Carpets for their projects. https://www.ocautocarpets.com/?msclk...ement%20Carpet.

I ended up getting my set from ACC AutoCustomCarpets https://www.accmats.com. They actually make the carpets for OC and somehow, somewhere they are affiliated, but ACC carpets are priced less than the OC ones, yet it's the same product. I don't know how that business model works, but the carpets fit fine and the customer service at ACC was terrific.

i would check with al knoch interiors. they make their stuff in house and have great products and customer service. give them a call and they will send you samples of color and material of everything you are thinking of. i have found over time that they consistently use the best materials. If you are looking for the best price, don't bother to call them. if you are looking for great products made in the US, they are worth checking out.

thanks i will call them, I don't find their prices too high at all, right in line with everyone else... for both carpet kit and door panels they just show "blue metallic" and no reference to the color, I will call them and see what that is. Thanks again

I have no experience with Al Knoch.

I have ordered a bunch of stuff from Corvette America (now owned by Top Flight), who is the only other US manufacturer for seats, dash pads and door panels, at least that I'm aware of. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

If you get a chance to go to Corvettes at Carlisle, they should have a booth there, or they can send you samples.

FWIW, when I last got carpet from one of the budget vendors (no longer in business), they were selling the "budget" line of ACC carpet. ACC has higher quality lines, too. I have not cracked the code for getting that stuff for cheap, but you might be able to get it direct from ACC, if you don't mind paying for it.

thanks Bikespace, I went on their website and looks like they have the items, I plan on calling them tomorrow because they have 15% off and free shipping till Friday, as long as they can assure me its the correct bright blue color
