Ralph, the most recent California Mustang catalog that I have (red Shelby with white stripes with only rear end visible on cover with plate tag showing June 05 expiration date) shows only ACC carpet. If you have information that they are making their own or selling another brand let me know. I am so tired of stuff that does not fit that if there were ANY other supplier of carpet I would use it. I have used ACC for many years but this is the pitts. Life is not good tonight. Murf

Just attempted to install ACC Moss Green carpet in my fastback. What a POS! This is the second set - the first was the wrong color and I paid to ship it back. This is the correct color - or close to it- but the area in the rear corner where the serged edge butts to the quarter trim is about an inch and one half short. The curved area is cut incorrectly, and then the edge is serged. When installed there is a very visible bald spot in the RR corner. In addition I can see daylight through the carpet everywhere it has been molded. In fact it is pressed so thin that when installed the loops seem to have a "runner" at every molded corner. Did not even try the front half as I am so disgusted. The fold down area and the kick panel carpet have not been attempted yet. Called NPD but of course there was no one there right now to take care of this problem. Have to call back tomorrow after 12:00 and talk to "Jeff". Probably just as well that he was gone today as i may have made an idiot of myself with anger. Well now I have bitched to all of you and maybe some frustration will leave with this post. My actual question is has anyone else experienced this, or when they tell me they have never had a problem with ACC is it the truth. I have used this brand of carpet since 1980 and this is absolutly the lousiest rag I have ever fooled with. Am I the only one?

Is anyone aware of someone who does this conversion and is located in the midwest. I hesitate to get involved in these deals with an outfit far away. I would however consider a distant radio repair IF someone on thie forum has had theirs done and vouches for the repair shop. Once burned twice shy I guess. Murf

You use the past tense in speaking of the radio man in Texas. Did he stop doing these conversions. I noticed there was a mention of checking with the Texas Attorney General or somebody such as that before sending radio, or check with the BBB. Does anyone know what happened and if this service is still offered? Murf

http://www.hammar.dyndns.org/~djhamma/radio.htm Sorry for all of the partial links. This will be my last attempt and perhaps it will get you to the entire block of information.

I have one in my 66 conv that was purchased in the 80s. My buddy just picked one up recently in Huntsville for his 65 coupe. They are expensive for sure, but if you like rare stuff and you see one you may as well jump in since it is seldom they are for sale. There is a nice history of both radios on the net - Daves mustang site or something I think - that goes on at length about both the original and the reproductions made by Ed Janoski (?) in the 80s. Probably some of you know how to post a link to this article. Murf
