Nobody make a kit anymore but Classtique does have the correct textiles manufactured and sells them by the yard. They do make kits for Model A and Model T, just not early V8.

They have helped me out on some small stuff. I do appreciate that. I wish they would venture into V8 Ford. I also understand the massive undertaking that would require in man hours, materials, sourcing patterns.....


It's a darn shame the fools at Turn 5 who bought Cartouche tossed all the original patterns in the garbage. An absolute tragedy.
 
I would shop around for a good auto upholstery shop. Ince found, have them tell tell how many yards you will need for the seat, interior panels, headliner, and anything else. Get the yardage from Classtique and have the upholstery shop do the work. It will not be cheap but it will be as close to stock as anyone can get these days. Pictures of an original interior from a restored/stock car will help. That's about all Early V8 guys can do anymore.
Good luck!
 
Thing is I have the orig seats in my car only has sun damage on top of rear seat backrest,all orig door panels as well.
 
If you decide to reupholster this car remove the original very carefully and save every piece, including the headliner and panels around the rear window. If you cover the original panels, trace the shape on a pattern material and save it. There is value there!

Get an Indian(native American) blanket and drape it over the backrest to cover the sun damage. I did this with the original front seat in a '40 Ford and most thought I was doing it to preserve the original interior. I doubt you will find the exact material to repair the seat to match the rest of the interior.

Be very careful. The rear seat in my '51 coupe is original in very nice condition, probably only used a handful of times in the last 75 years. Last weekend, I wanted to get my picture album out of the rear seat where it lives, and when I rested my hand on the seat back (very lightly), it opened a 6 inch tear along the top.:(
