Upholsterer for Cabriolet top wanted NW US?

[kimeccles]

If this should be a "for wanted" post, sorry, but it said "parts" wanted and this is a service or restoration wanted.

We have a 1930 straight window Cabriolet all mostly restored now except for a new LeBaron-Bonney top kit and interior panels that preferably should be installed by a person who has done this before, and not me.

Also the new top kit requires measuring and sewing above the door windows and the convertible top brackets to be sure it fits correctly.

I am in Spokane, WA and could transport somewhere around the Northwest if you know of a reputable business who could do this and maybe some brake work please let me know.

Thanks,
Kim

Do you belong to a club?? Do you know other Aer's in your area?? Visit a few Auto Uph shops in your area.

A friend just went through this. He hired a local convertible top man to do the job. Big Mistake. Doors were open for access during the installation process. Doors were very difficult to open or close when the job was finished. Excessive tightness was the cause.
He took the car to Elizabeth Estepp ([email protected]),former Classtique owner, to re-do the installation. She did a excellent job. She has been known to travel to do installation work but prefers to do it at her shop. Be very careful who you pick to do the job.

I would contact Arlyn Bieber (https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/member.php?u=1451) before I chose anyone to see what he tells you.

Thanks for the ideas, this is a start, but not many near here with experience are interested yet.
