Upholstery installation instructions

[HenryCarl]

35 Ford 5 window standard. I have an unused Lebaron Bonney kit, recently purchased, mostly still in boxes...but no installation instructions...which I need. I’ve read that Cartouche’s are similar if not the same. Can anyone point me to a source for the paper/other installation instructions? Thank you.

I had a LB Model A kit I just did. Paper instructions were worthless. Go to YouTube. Much more helpful.

i get original pics of similar cars ( hemmings, old car brochures ) print out pics to have near by . match up to area of car after laying out interior to insure you have all the pieces. check similar things on you tube . make sure all wiring is in place and no further mechanicals are necessary and begin install . most seats of the 30s were assembled in the same fashion . hog ring burlap, pad ,cover . there will be some trimming involved and it may test your patience ,but persistence pays off .

Thank you all for great tips. I suppose the lack of instructions were a hint to go to an upholstery shop. I'm in St. Louis MO., reagen.
