Has anyone made a carpet set for their Spitfire? I was at the home
improvement store the other day and found some really nice marine grade
black carpet with a rubber type backing on it, supposed to stand up UV
really well. So I measured up some of the old carpet that I had left and
compared it to the measurements of the car and I think that it would only
cost about $39 for the carpet. The problem is that I am not sure what to
do with the contours of the car and the transmission tunnel cover. Any
suggestions would be great since this would be a huge money saver! My
father-in-law also had found some seat covers from JC Whitney that will fit
the Spitfire, so they claim. And then I need to find a place that sells
vinyl for the interior. As you can tell I am trying to save as much money
on the restoration as I can by custom making everything. I have also been
thinking about redoing the door panels out of wood to match the dash like
another list member did. Thanks for any help!
