My brother-in-law is close to completing the body work on his 29 Tudor and is asking for advice on upholstery. While there are upholstery shops in town none are totally familiar with Model A's but will do it.

His question is this; Is he better off to order a complete kit from Cartouche or Classtique and have a local shop install it OR should he just leave it up to the local shop to order the individual components and complete the job? 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.
