65 and 66 under dash insulation

[Larry L.]

Down to the fine details while restoring my 65 Coupe.

Orig. 65, 66, 67 cars used a "dirty yellow" insulation with red, green, blue threads. The reproduction I bought is a medium gray with some similar threads.
Does anyone know if the "dirty yellow" insulation is available and where.

What is used on the 63 and 64 ?

Thanks

Larry, The repro stuff I have seen is typically grayish. Never saw a dirty yellow except in the building business. Now there is a thought for you. See you soon. John

That's jute and I don't believe anybody makes repro insulation of the correct original material anymore. Those who are SERIOUS about their restorations in our chapter, take a stroll through the junk yards and gather original material from donor passenger cars (look beneath the carpet) and hand cut it....

I guess I will get on my grubbers and god junk yearding this week and see what I can find.
Thanks for the help.
