Steve and Grant,

Thanks for the links to that material - the canvas folks are having a hard time getting that ready for the quote.

I also need some stiff stuff for my truck side curtains.

With regards to that awesome smell of well waxed canvas....I have treated my canvas on the M38 several times with a wax preservative and waterproofing bought at Canadian Tire in one gal cans. It has done a wonderful job on the canvas and even provides a whif of that "pleasant odour".

cheers

Gents,

I just got a call from the canvas maker and she is done with the first C15a tarp and wants me to come to try it on.

I can get down there on Friday morning and should have some pix to post later tah day. If anybody is near B'Ville on Saturday we are putting a new clutch in a WW2 jeep - so come on over to have a peek and offer some advice. I think that my wife is putting chicken breasts in the slow cooker for lunch too!

Now would be a good time to decide if you want a tarp for your C15a as I will probably be able to report on a price by the time the pix get uploaded. I will take orders/prepayments soon.

More later.

I like Chicken for lunch. Sounds good. Oh wait I will already be at your place. Did you get much snow up your way today. Hamilton is getting lots and I can't wait for the drive home. Buuurrrrrrrrr

As for the tarp I will give an honest opinion that is non biased or slanted in one way or the other. However if the chicken is good then Im sure the tarp will be fantastic.

CMPers,

I ventured out to Tillsonburg and grabbed the C15a tarp and plopped it onto my truck. It is availible for viewing Friday-Sunday.

I took a snap or 2 of the sample on my truck and the new tarp on my truck.

She is still working a price for the tarp, price for windows, price for 1/2" hemp rope, and what it is worth for us to do our own waterproofing. Stay tuned.

PS - for Boobee - the canvasmith has a used sewing machine ( Jukki brand ) for sale for about $800 if you need/want one. Good shape, comes ith some bobbins and extra needles.
