Unanswered: Interior over the rear wheels

I am going to be doing the interior of my 71 GT myself, and I am wondering if anyone has has to redo the vinyl over the rear wheels. I am looking for a pattern so I can do my own.

I can of course rip off the old stuff and reverse engineer the cover, but an actual cover pattern I could cut out and sew together would be great.

I just bought a set in great condition off eBay because mine were OK but had a couple holes and looked faded compared to the brand new rear side panels and spare tire area cover. I haven't installed them yet (and may not for some time). If you need any measurements from them while they are still off the car, I could do that.

If it is not too much trouble to do some measuring I would greatly appreciate it. The GT is going into the body and paint shop on March 1st. When it comes out I want to finish the interior so that I can have it all nice and beautiful when my neice gets married in June.

And no my neice will not be in the GT...my wife and I will be.

Again, if you don't mind doing the measuring that would be super. Thanks

Using your old one as a pattern is the best way to go. The pattern is a little complicated to put down by simple measurements.
