Default Corvette Ulummni please advise

Gentlemen, once again I come to you for assistance. Can anyone tell me if I can buy a ready made rug for my C3 that covers the tunnel ? I'm thinking a Camaro rug possibly . This rescued
race/donor car had been so modified/cut that I would never be able to return it to stock so I am going with a stripped down interior . Have to as it has no consol , AC, radio , heater , etc. Hell if it isn't fast as lightning though.

Thank you again.

Sounds like you are in the custom realm now. All the preformed carpet sets I have seen have a 2 piece front. Basically one for each side and it tucks under the console.

You should try to post a pic of what your interior looks like in that area and that may help give someone an idea to help.

Is your goal to keep it a race off road car or are you trying to make it a street car again? One of the best things about these cars is that almost every piece can be purchased in the aftermarket, like the missing console, ac, radio, heater etc.

To know what year your working on might help, as the carpet sets vary some, depending on the year. In reality though, your probably better off having a local auto upholstery shop, make up a carpet for you.

The Auto Upholstery shop I use, uses steam to fit the tunnels on their custom cars. No Problem. Have a great day. Gene

Not to my knowledge. Ready made Corvette carpet will, of course, be left and right fronts and will not cover the console area.
