The Ford Barn

Around 20 years ago. I ordered a upholstery kit for my 1933 Victoire. I received a kit looked at it and put it away. In the past year I have been trying to install this kit in my 33. By the way this was a Le Baron Bonnie kit. I have had a very experienced upholstery person helping me with the installation. Everything has been fine until we got to the front seats. It appears that Le Barron Bonnie sewed up the covers wrong or had the wrong patterns. We could simply replace certain parts of the front seat parts. But we have no more material. I've receive samples from Mac and LeBaron Bonnie. No match in color. So my problem is trying to find the correct color of mohair. Any help out there with people knowing where or a local upholstery shop having old stock of mohair. I have lots of scraps for samples. I'm trying to get this card done for the Western V8 national meet this year. Thank you for any help you can give me. Call me at 510-889-1933 Nick
