When I replaced my 77 interior last year, I used Willcox. They sell the Corvette America items and had the best prices. Some NCRS people I have talked to like Al Knock, but Corvette America was fine for me. I placed tow orders (months apart) for items and the dye lots were slightly off. Willcox worked with me to make it right.

I used ACC for the carpets front and back, ( Perfect fit) and I have Al Knoch seats and covers which have held up excellant over the years. I used Mid-america and Rik's corvette supply for the console and one of our vendors here Corvetteinstrment.com for the guage panal.

Doing exactly the same thing on my '77 as well this winter and I really like the stuff from Corvette America that I bought through Willcox. Their prices are a lot better then the ones on Corvette Americas site.

What about the heat insulation mats? Where do you fellers get them? Do you glue them down then glue the carpet to them?

I just looked into this today, for heat insulation, use Reflectix. Available at Home Depot for about $25. For sound insulation, get "High Temperature Mastic" at McMaster-Carr. It's about $1/ft. Much better than Dynomat and one fifth of the cost.
