Has anyone had this done lately and can recommend a shop or person to do it properly?
Getting prepped to do a 52 Wasp sedan.

    Bill Gratkowski, in PA, does a beautiful job. Only one I've seen that can really duplicate the original. He has ads in Hemmings and other car mag's. billgrains@verizon.net.

    Looking in the parts book I see Brown, Taupe and French Gray listed for the 5B -(52 Wasp) model.
    Were the Brown ones the leather grained version and the others painted? Were the Brown panel'ed interiors a different level than the others?

    besides the dash panel, which other trim parts have the same leather grained finish?

    If you ever see the work Chris Davis does on any type of woodgrain, you'll swear it's straight from the factory

    I second what Arkie says. Chris Davis is best by far.
