Bulk Carpet

I have noted that World and GAHH have bulk carpet (60" inch wide if I recall)
How much carpet is needed for a 107.

I have a 1980 with BLUE-GRAY carpet and leather....going to darken it up
a bit...Car has Anthracite Grey exterior....a nice dark grey or two-tone
combination might be cool.

Got some samples from World, black, dark grey, medium gray. Like all of them

If an interior carpet kit is $339 from Diamond Mall and $700 from GAHH,
I wonder what the trade off is to doing it yourself.

I believe bulk velour was about $90 / yard, so 3 yards is the break even point
for DIY...not counting the time to sew/bind the edges.

I also need to do the truck, expect I will have to buy foam and some masonite or board of some kind.

This is probably a whole new thread, MBTex vs Leather, gonna do seats, doors and trim....
Thanks for any advice.
