[DeTomaso] Quick carpet question

[Mark Tumbarello]

Mike the kit I bought from precision is made from the cheapest mill bulk 
carpet one can purchase. My upolsterer told me that he doesn't use this 
grade to carpet trunks. He estimated the price of 2-3 dollars a yard.I guess 
I could install it my self, but he would not guarantee the fit if he 
installed it. He also told me that the cost of his labor didn't warrant 
installing carpet this cheap. It's bound poorly with fabric, he recommends 
vinyl for durability.  Most carpet comes in 60-70 in widths so you only need 
a couple yards to do the whole interior. the cost is the fitting and binding 
about a days work. He showld me some pretty nice stuff even wool which 
wasn't that expensive. Any body want to buy a carpet kit for a late 72L. 
YMMV, Mark
