I purchased the carpeting from JC Whitney and the headliner from AutoKrafters for my 2-door '76 and am happy with both. Be forwarned that replacing the headliner is a solid 1-afternoon job! You'll need to remove the glass and rubber wx stripping from around the windows. If I knew it would be this tough to do I would have brought the purchased headliner ($49 from Autokrafters) to a healiner shop and paid them. Lots of labor, requires at least two people but 3 is better.
Happy also with the fit and finish of the carpeting.
Good luck with your project!

: Anyone had any experience with either Crown carpeting from J.C.Whitney or ACC carpeting? Trying to decide how to replace the carpet in my '73. Any other suggestions? Also looking for advice on replacing my headliner. Anyone bought a new one before and been happy with it? Can you take the windshield and back glass out without replacing your rubber? If not, any good sources for the rubber? Auto krafters are so $$$$$$$$$$! Thanks for your wisdom. John B.
