Default Need new carpet this month

I need new carpet this month for my '82. I already have new door panels from Al Knoc and new seats. I need a new steering wheel and center consol too! Who do y'all think would be the best and quickest install

Can't tell ya where to go, or which to go with. 80/20 or Cut is all in your eyes. Get the fully padded set whatever you choose. Having just finished my install I can say how to install. The wheel wells are 1st. than the back lid, then both pass & drivers sides. This sets up the rear bulkhead. Line-up the bottom seam to align straight across the body,trim the ends to tuck into the space in front of the W/wells and over the top. Glue as necessary to hold. Redo your boxframe lids, trim AND.............. :party:

I just ordered carpet and door panels from Al Knoch last Friday at Corvette Expo. Funny thing is, I wanted door panels with the trim on them and the carpet with padding installed. He was at expo with all kinds of inventory with him, but he had neither of what I wanted with him.

I finally ordered new carpet today. The blue color was hard to locate. I also ordered a new shifter console plate.
