Hey Jim and Bob

I have been able to source green canvas and will be making my own Seat covers as well as all other canvas parts as you are correct they are very hard to find and there is no one in Canada making them. For the canvas tarps, (box cover) I need measurements or one that I can take apart to get exact measurements from.

The first set of Canvas seats I make will be going to George in Northern AB as he has given me a seat cushion to reproduce, the ones he and I have are the thinner ones that just have Horsehair cushions and no springs.

Jim, if you need your Instrument panel rebuilt I will be able to do it for you, I am attaching photo's of mine, I was fortunate enough to get a panel from Phil Waterman to finish mine as these are very hard to find.

Gary

These are the before pictures.
