Agree with you Gary. Here in the PNW it depends on the shop your dealing with as far as using COM (customers own material). You are asking the trim shop to work for wages. 20 plus years ago I was given a 1962 Austin Healy challenge. I had no idea what went where so I had to do tons of research to get it correct. In the end my charge to install the interior and top was 4k. The customer was so pleased he never bated an eye. IMO your best bet is ordering from Classtique. They have the knowledge and patterns to do it right.
