Best place to get a carpet for my older car? I was looking on this site called stock interiors, but I wasn't sure how legitimate it was. I plan on getting it with mass backing. I need to replace it because my carpet is falling apart and there's a hole in one of my floor pans I plan to weld.
Pic related, it is my car.

Just go to an upholstery shop. They'll have multiple kinds to choose from. Get the kind that's most original.

Rhino liner plus cushy floor mats

I see. Will that compare to the costs shown online? I've set my budget for this at 200$, so the online carpet shops are right there, and they claim to already be molded properly. I'm not obsessed with getting close to the original, just interested in a decent carpet with good noise damping. Thanks

2-300 is reasonable to expect. If you're restoring that car you should care about originality.

I do care about originality, however the carpet or even seat material isn't too concerning to me. When it comes to say the steering wheel or radio, or dashboard, I do prefer it to be an original functional part.
Does anyone have experience with the online vendors though? I haven't found a good upholstery shop near me.

Also, what primers+sealer combos do people recommend? I've heard that the aerosol can primers aren't very good; however, I'm only looking to do small quarter sized spots here and there on the body, so it would be more convenient if there's a decent one out there. I just want to get the rust covered up properly until I can afford a good paint job from a nice shop (which might not be for a while).
