I'm trying to find similar carpet for my mustang and I'm having a hard time finding some. The reason I want to stay OEM is because the sides are perfect but the floor in one spot is wearing through and I would like to keep it all the same. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ------------- Lake Horse http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1587&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 76 Mustang |

Do a search for Capri carpet. Look at there indoor outdoors. It comes in several colors. They will send you a sample. The color match will not be exact due to being made at different times. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Thanks 8122pbrainard for the help! Material looks pretty close but I'll get sample to see how close it comes to OEM. Thanks again!!! ------------- Lake Horse http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1587&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 76 Mustang |

remeber your carpet is going to be faded so the sample will look a little brighter but will fade as well over time. You might notice a difference the first season but most likely not the second. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

Primarily what I'm looking for is the combination of black specs with the overall red material. ------------- Lake Horse http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1587&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 76 Mustang |

that stuff doesn't look the same I don't think it was the black specs to it like he is looking for. I'll give my buddy a call and see if they have some old carpet in storage that they did not use anymore. I know they do not use that style of carpet anymore but they may have some laying around. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

79, The marine blue that I used has the black specs. Best way to compare is to request a sample. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

8122, I requested a sample but I checked a local carpet store and they had a red Astroturf sample that was dead-on but I need to check the material height. I don't remember it being an inch tall. Thanks for the info. ------------- Lake Horse http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1587&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 76 Mustang |

Lake Horse, Wow a inch tall!! Someone must have used some Scotts Turf builder on the Astroturf!! Do you mean 1/2"? Seriously, keep in mind the grass turf really mats down and is the reason I changed mine. It still looked good, it was just matted. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I would like to find some blue for the 76 as well. I love pulling the exhausts and gas tanks and seeing crap pieces used as wrapping....

Lake Horse, Are you saying your local carpet store has the old astro turf carpet red with black specks JUST like original? If so I would like the phone number of the store because I have searched high and low. I am looking for red and black and blue and black.
Thanks for your help. bj ------------- hasbeenskier |

Discount Building Supply
Oxford, MS 662-236-5615 Ask for Red Astroturf I bought a section 12'L x 6'W for around $30 and I also got the glue there too for about $3. Color and design is dead on. I installed it Saturday and let sit to Sunday afternoon. I try to get pics soon. Hasbeen- I did not see any blue but I do believe they said something about brown and green. 8122, I'm sorry; I exaggerated about the height. It's a little short of 1/2" ------------- Lake Horse http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1587&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 76 Mustang |
