Sorry Mate,
Dont think so. There are guys in the States that do them, however yours being a Holden body, things may not fit, but it may be worth contacting them.

Some say "Street is neat". I prefer "1928 is great" I have documented my 45 years with a 1928 Chev Tourer, from 1973 to 2018, and regulary add other items that I hope are of interest to others. Your comments are most welcome.The story of the Red Chev can be viewed at http://my28chev.blogspot.com/

You can't do "trim kits" as all cars were slightly different due to 'hand built'. I've seen 1/2" difference in lenght of doors and it goes on from there. There are many people who do trim jobs, best picking one who has done some early Chevs. Unfortunately it going to cost you a lot of money, well over $6000.

Hi, I had my 1927 chev trim done by Grant White in Melbourne, he did a great job at a reasonable price, and has done a lot of trimming over the years for members of the Vintage Drivers Club Victoria. Some of the quotes I got prior to going to him were scary.
Your local vintage car clubs in SA should be able to point you in the right direction.

You wont go wrong there

Dont know anyone I could reccomend. Suggest you contact one of the local Chev or Vintage car clubs. I am sure they can put you on to someone.
After all thats where (Adelaide, South Australia) the body and upolstery were made back in 28.
