    Anybody know where you can get the rubber floor carpeting like they used on the plain Jane F85's in place of carpeting?

    Doesn't ACC make a rubber floor covering set?..I think I heard they are not exactly correct or some other derogatory comment when "the other Dave" (or "MIA Dave")...Dave Bunch.....was looking for this stuff.

    They do not have the footpad but otherwise they fit fine. I have used them 2 times with no problems. Leave it out in the sun to heat it up before installing and use a hairdryer to keep it flexible.

    Thanks. This is for Tom Krause who owns this W31. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

    Not too excited about this color, but I'm sure Brian will like it. Sure like the car, though.You bid on this didn't you, John?

    Interesting that you don't see anywhere near as many 69 W31's as 68's, but they actually made more of them. Could be that a high percentage of the 68's were race cars right from the start. They didn't get driven to death on the streets. John Ebbs has a beautiful black one with a yellow painted roof that came from Volo.

    Haven't heard anything about or from Dave Bunch in a long time. Seems he was having some rough times.

    Yes I like the car. Just a little out of my price range for a 69 car.
