Do you know if most shops end up ordering a kit or to they order the individual pieces of material and cut and sew it all up themselves? Thanks.

I bought a used LB kit for my Model A from a Ford Barn member. The fronts were leather and rumble was vinyl. The vinyl was of poor quality and a royal pain in the neck to install.
The leather fronts were great and easy to put on and came out well.
I bought the foam padding and burlap from an upholstery supplier.
If I did it again, I would not buy the kit. I think I could have done it cheaper differently.
