1985 Carpet Questions?
Hey guys my brother wants to put a new carpet in his 1985 Vette.
Is there anything that he should keep in mind before he starts this project?
Also Mid-America sells the carpet set for $400.00 can he pick up a correct carpet for a cheaper price?

I bought a set on ebay for a 1990 and it was great. Make sure you get the mass back that is what comes in it from the factory. ACC is the big name on carpet sets. When I got it it fit perfect I didnt even trim. Here is a link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2455016149

Go to this webbsite of "VETTE" magazine. http://www.vetteweb.com
Hit "TECHNICAL" on its menu.
Scroll down to page 2.
You will see 2 articles entitled "From Ratty to Natty".
It gives you a step by step restoration of an early C4 interior, including carpet with blow-up pictures and instructions.
This will help you :hurray:
