If anyone has used JC Whitney carpet kits, what has been your experience for fit and quality?

I went to a local seat/top upholster, picked out type/color of carpet to match original. That way I knew up front what I was getting. They cut it out, bound the edges and installed. A little more expensive that ordering generic one. The front is originally rubber so it was for the back seat area only. I guess it depends on whether or not you are trying to be correct.

Note that your 1947 had carpet in the rear only. The front mat was brown rubber with small carpet inserts. Reproductions are available.

Yes but it was more like a coarse weave rather than a cut nap.
