Long ago in a different world, there was a guy named Stitts who put out publications on installing interiors...anyone remember?

These days, the best deal on Model A interior is to look at a kit from Lebaron Bonney, comes with instructions and fairly easy, with patience, to install.

There are also a lot of books, newer and older, on upholstery techniques for older cars.

If you have a specific question, email me at David.Coco@hphood.com, the moniker trimacar is not in jest.....

I learned how to do convertible tops from a Stitts book.

The Model A Ford Club of America published a series of volumes containing step by step articles on restoration topics that first appeared in The Restorer, the club magazine. All 8 of the series are currently available. It would be helpful if you said what body style are you inquiring about.

Have you tried LeBaron Bonney?

Once again, try the Model A forum on Fordbarn. I hate to send people away from this site but the formost experts on Model As dwell there. One guy named Marco Tartarus has a site linked to the barn where you can get questions answered from practically any section of the car. Just like in judging,while AACA does very well,they have to spread out their knowledge over all cars while the individual clubs can concentrate on their specific makes.
