I just replaced the original carpet after 17 years. I purchased 5 yards of premium auto carpet that was 80" wide, and was less than $100. It was plenty to do the cockpit and trunk with some left over. I depends on how you plan to cut and lay the carpet for the cockpit. I tried to use a single piece for the rear wall.

Rdone Thank you ! this car was done 15 yrs ago and in tan so now going to go with black. We are just doing cockpit. Trunk is fine. I fiquire three yards at 80 " wide. Where did you get the carpet, ? online or locally ?

I purchased from a company recommended to me by a friend at a local body shop. They buy all their carpet from them. It's Graham Fabrics and Supply out of Columbus, MS. I purchased 2070 Graphite 80' Ozite Carpet. It's very flexible to work with all the contours in the cockpit. I also purchased the Thermozite carpet pad, I highly recommend using that under the carpet. The carpet doesn't really have a strong backing it works best with padding under it and that works well proving thermal and some sound deadening. It was harder to install this carpet than the "marine carpet" that was in it previously, but I really like the end result much better.

I bought my trunk carpet from https://www.yourautotrim.com/s72wiluauca.html. It’s really nice. I haven’t checked in a while but I bet they’ll send you a sample.
