restoring leather grained dash

Kdancy

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?

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.
