    The interior door panels of my 1929 133 sedan need to be done.

    Can anyone recommend an upholsterer? It doesn’t have to be anyone in my area- I can simply ship the originals to the shop.

    I’ve got the correct wool material from Hirsch, but is there anyone that can do the door with anything similar to the original trim?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Gregg – door panels are easy, in most cases, compared to seats and such. I do upholstery, used to do it professionally, now only as time permits.

    The problem is that trim. It’s a beautiful detail, and one that would be a shame to lose, but can’t imagine you’re going to find it anywhere.

    Are the pieces of trim good enough to try to use again, or are there problems with it? Can you see a visible stitch on the trim, or is the fabric stitched to backer board and then trim glued in place?

    Would be an interesting project, if you can’t find someone I might be able to help you with it. David Coco Winchester Va.
