Default Where to buy a carpet set?

I just placed a big order with vertex on the rubber seals and suspension stuff for the restoration.

I asked them where they got their carpet sets. The guy said Original Fit and he said it might take 5-6 weeks to get it.

Who else sells carpet sets and what did you think of it?

Mine's a little difficult because it's a cab and has carpet on the rear deck.
Several suppliers don't yet sell kits for cabs.

I think other than the rear deck it's much the same as a coup otr targa.
Maybe the rear side panel is different, but I don't think that or the rear deck is bound so that would just take some sdditional material that I could cut to fit.
Help, Anyone?
Thanks!

I just bought this from AppBiz. They sell through Pelican, but the cheapest way I've found to get a kit is through eBay. I paid $269 for the kit listed in the link above at $319. Seems pretty good quality, and I got it in a week (shipping from CA). Come by and check it out if you want - won't go in until next week sometime.

Oh - don't think they sell a cab kit, but you could call the owner and talk to them - small operation and very friendly. They can send you extra carpet and maybe you could make what ever else you need that doesn't fit from a Targa set (which I'd imagine would be a closer fit than a Coupe).

I bought my carpet kit from OFI for my 83SC.
It was $234.00 including shipping. It took about 3weeks to arrive.
I was happy with the price and the quality.
Good luck.

Chris, that is an option I was thinking about.
I sent him an e-mail yesterday. He does now have a site.
I'd like to take a look ate your kit and maybe GB's Original fit before I order.

Chris give me a call I'll be at home today and some of the weekend and we can tackle your ball joints.
GB are you going to the concorse at Avenel?
Will there be any vendors there?
I can't help but go because it's so close.
Thanks for the help!

Calling for thunderstorms on Sunday and all clubs decided to postpone it to a later date.
