soft top well liner for '65 (and carpet)

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have dealt with ACC, they will make a carpet of cut pile for you if that
is what you want, regardless of what their catalog says.  I had them make a
carpet for my 67 convertible out of very dark green cut pile carpet - it is
beautiful and fits perfectly, and came with die cut padding already glued to
the carpet, with all the right cutouts etc.   I couldn't be happier with the
fit and appearance.  The texture is close to the original, but not exact.

However, I think it is as close as can be gotten with modern materials.
