Default Re: Cartouche / Macs experience?

I ordered the samples from Mac's the day that LB went under.
I just received them last Friday.
The samples I received are not a match for a '34 Ford.
It is odd because they asked what body style I was building and they sent different sample kits for a Victoria,Coupe,2- Dr sedan, and 4 dr sedan.
Each kit had different fabric choices in it.
The LB kits and Ford offered a small number of choices to pick from, mainly closed car and open car.
Following David G's suggestion I contacted Hirsch.
It turns out that Hirsch supplied the 30-2 rose beige mohair to LB for thier kits.
Jeff at Hirsch was very helpful and saved my project.
He was also able to get me in touch with the people at Acme in LA who do the sun visors and have the headliners. LB sent their visors to Acme to have sewn. Acme was also very helpful.
The people at LB told me for 6 months that they were unable to source the proper mohair for my kit.
I didn't realize that they did not pay their bills and were unable to get any more material.
I should have inquired further, I knew something was wrong.
