rlcokc Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Anyone have any idea what is up with Lebaron bonney? I ordered some wireon 3/10, never received email confirming the order, and then sent email to check on status-the guy I dealt with previously auto reply said no longer working there so I called and directed to voice mail and website is down. No return call. I had heard they were having prolems with business and just wondered if someone "in the know" has an idea of whats happening. I recently ordered and received interior for my 36 Buick and at this point am thankful it is complete. The wireon I can't find anywhere else in cloth altho lots of hidem and some wireon in vinyl/primarily a marine application. If someone knows a source for wireon I would appreciate the info-need taupe/tan as I needed to redo my other 36 and tore the wireon out as I new I could get more. May have to look at trying to salvage what I tore out but I wasn't too careful. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I searched for wire on months ago and called 5-6 places. Most said only 1-2 places even make it anymore and it’s getting nearly impossible to get. You can contact restoration specialties. They said they can get it. They sent me samples.

Crazyfamily Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Good luck and I hope it works out, does anyone know where I can get a new interior kit (door panel material, seat material, and carpet for rear for a 1927 Model 27 “Standard”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Costello is no longer is with the company, so there was a quite a backlog catching up with all his clients. I have found working with Scott Holbrook directly will help you at least get answers. He is determined to "make things right" and maybe will at least have an answer concerning the wireon. sholbrook@lebaronbonney.com Hope it helps!

pont35cpe Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was happy in my dealing with Cam Nolan at LeBARON BONNEY. Can contact her at cnolan@lebaronbonney.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlcokc Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks guys. Used Scott's email and did not receive an auto response so hopefully I will hear something. I had already gone to restoration specialties and didn't see in their catalog. If I don't have success with LB I'll contact and see what they have. Thanks for the heads up. Really hope no issue with LB as they seem to have a niche no one else seems to cover. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlcokc Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Well the bankruptcy of LB has left me in somewhat of a lurch. Thank goodness those of us who had ordered received goods before the Chapter 7 filing. Did find a reasonable substitute/facsimile from SMS auto fabrics and just received a call and the cost is $30 a yard. Didn't ask what shipping cost would be. Haven't contacted restoration specialties but did look at catalog online. Appears to me what they call hydem is the same as what I received from SMS but the cost is 70 cents a foot-don't really care what they charge to ship at that price. Will be contacting them shortly and requesting sample. Any other ideas for finding wireon/hidem would be appreciated. The cost from Lebarron Bonney was $7 a yard. Hopefully the lack of competition is not going to drive prices up too much. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Cardinal Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I also found Hidem/Hydem for 60 to 70 cents per foot: https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|5948|2333932|2333934&id=3128104 https://www.sailrite.com/search?keywords=hidem DLT Upholstery Supply has a variety of colors, starting at about $28 for a 25 yard roll. Looks like a good deal! https://www.dltcorporation.com/searchresults.asp?Search=hidem&Submit= 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlcokc Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I cannot use the vinyl hydem as the remainder of my 36 buick is wool broadcloth. I have now contacted restoration specialties and requested sample of their product. Don't remember if it specified cloth/vinyl so may not be able to use. Thanks again Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
