Just placed my order. I wasn't one of the 33 that committed so that should help if one of them drops out.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these reproductions. |

Quick request for anyone reading this who has easy access to their Ghia today.
I'm about to weld my old mat tabs to the new pan (1964) and would like to confirm my measurements. I don't trust myself because the new pan came with bumps that don't match my measurements.
I wrote down the the inner tab is 11.5 centimeters from the tunnel and the outer tab is 47.5 centimeters away. Is that right?
Thanks all! Looking forward to getting my mats and getting on the road in maybe two years if I'm lucky. |
Hi Peter,
Here are a couple of pictures using a measuring tape:
Both are from the tunnel side. I hope this helps!

MAT COLORS
I am working in in defining the colors, I'll post some pictures of the original mats I have and the color's names, to make sure we all agree.
I expect to take those pictures tomorrow morning

Hey Luis, just a heads up. I sent the $39.82 for the 5th mat to your PayPal.
And just to reiterate, no dimmer hole please. Thank you Luis. Cory |

I made my own floor mats. I went to Lowes and bought two front door welcome mats that were smooth on the back and cut them to fit. _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

Looks like there are pictures of colors that I didn't see before, including the driver's side mat that I send Luis.

Thanks! Wish I had seen this before welding my tabs in place. The pan is painted and ready to go as soon as I find the time or quit my job.
Looking forward to receiving my mats when they're ready!

Have you solved the different problems?

Do you need other samples ? |

Hello guys,
I am close to have an agreement to have the cash flow I need to resume production, I can't give the details, as we are still working out the final arrangement. I expect to give the good news before the end of August.
I sincerely appreciate the support and patience from the community, be asure that all orders will be fulfill.
