Upholstery Kits
 

I am finally getting toward the end of rebuilding my '30 Tudor. I am looking into sources for an upholstery kit. I am aware of Classtique and LeBaron Bonney. Has anyone used a kit from Lee Chatterton? If so, what is your opinion of the quality and cost.

Thank you,

Mark

I spoke with Chatterton at Chickasha. I am getting ready to do the interior of my '31 Coupe. He gave me samples and I returned a part of them with a request for a price. His timing is about 2 months and that is important to me. I was going to ask the same question on the Barn. Lee is 600 miles from me and I was thinking of packing the entire seat assembly and bringing it to him for a turnkey job except for the headliner. That will be a long drive each way but I expect to make a stop in Memphis at the Interstate BBQ and look at the 10 foot tall statue of Elvis on the Mississippi river.

I have some information that I got from LeBaron.
I have heard good things about Classtique.

Thank you Vic. Two months....I did not realize that it would take that long. I may have to look into the other sources and see if their turn-around is quicker.

Thanks again

Lee Chatterton does a pretty nice kit and is considerably cheaper than the rest but it does not look quit as close to original as the others. If you just want an interior, it will work and look nice but like some of the others said, tough to beat lebarron Bonney

So I guess me earlier post was deleted. I used one of Lee's kits on my 31 deluxe coupe and was very pleased with the quality. Every door panel clip fit perfectly. Instructions are not great but quality is good for the price vs LB.

Thank you all for your input. This week I am going to call all three vendors and get prices and turn around times.

Thanks again,

Hmm, I had not heard of him, I am curious as to how much a kit would be from him for a 29 coupe. I may have to call him.
