If you don't see it on their web page call them, because they are so busy that they don't have a lot of time to update the web page.
Let me know how you make out with them.

Awesome! Thank you very much!

No Problem.

I bought my carpet from Dantes, it is good quality. Not sure about their door panels, I don't know where Dante gets them from. Most everyone recommends Legendary. I just bought a complete interior kit from Legendary for my 72. The guy that owned my car before me put a complete interior out of a 71 Duster. So that will come out and be sold in the next few weeks. I bought a set of seats out of a 72 to upholster.

Early Birds had a store here in Barrie.... I just noticed it's empty and a "for lease" sign in the window. I went in once to check it out, not much knowledge or stock for Mopars. I'd imagine that would be a tough business especially with the exchange rate at the moment.

I believe Early Birds, is big in the Firebirds and Camaros.

I bought a couple of small parts from them - wasn't impressed with their service, they double-shipped and double-billed me - took a while to sort out

I've bought parts from National Moparts a number of times for my 4 speed Dart Sport and everything has been good except for the carpet.
The carpet quality and fit is not great IMO.
I wouldn't recommend getting carpet from them.

If you have any issues with anything that you bought from Nigel (National Moparts) call him and he will bend over backwards to make you happy. The only reason that I bought my carpet from Dantes, is because I was at Carlise All Chrysler Nationals and they had one there that I got a super deal on. Plus I could bring it across the border without paying duty on it.

I put a carpet in the 70 Duster i got from Nigel, The fit was shit took alot of trimming to fit and still wasn't impressed.
And yes Early Birds are more GM oriented.

The supplier is not to fault, they don't manufacture the carpets.

There are basically two major brands. Trim Parts and ACC. Both require effort to make look nice, both require a lot of trimming ....
I've installed dozens and you just need to be patient and work it into place.

I know our dollar sucks and taxes and duties are nuts, but I still get mine cheaper shipped from the States...Try places like RockAuto or watch EBay for deals...it helps if you can get an US address as well...

Hmmmmmmmmm, I just started a thread here about Early-Bird cuz I need a new dash pad for my 69 Dart. Doesn't sound good !!

As been mentioned here, Early-Birds, is more Gm/Ford oriented.

I used NOS reproductions for my carpet and was happy with both the service and the carpet. I am going to order custom mats from them once I quit spending so much on chrome sheesh

I was looking at ordering 2 of the 15x7 , 5 on 4", steel wheels for my 69 Swinger that they have in their catalogue. I wanted to finf out if they get them from Wheel Vintiques because WV have been having trouble with dogdish caps fitting their wheels . Anyone know anything about this or has anyone bought wheels from them ??

From what I see on their website their prices are pretty steep. I need a speedo cable and a turn signal switch for my 69 Dart - they want $100 for the cable and $170 for the ts switch.....I can get them from the us for $40 and $70 , same pieces. ?????
