Canvas... another option.

Becuase of the high quote sent to me from Beechwood canvas, I wanted to explore having some peices made.

I received in the mail this week, a set of canvas side and rear pieces, from Ray in NY. (Thanks Ray!)

These were his very last set, sort of mix-matched, with the sides being a darker OD canvas, the rear being made from a lighter canvas color. They were also slightly under-sized. Ray informed me of this when we talked. Not an issue for me, as I was making my own seat assembly up and just adjusted for the narrower canvas.

Anyway, these are still nice.

I am thinking of taking them to either a local canvas shop or sending them off to one of the many military cnavs suppliers out there (Weebee webbing, New Life, etc)

Would there be any interest should I do so? I only wish to have made the three pieces, and possibly have the seat cover made as well.
I wish not to get involved with making up complete bottom seat cushion assemblies.

THis could easliy be made yourself with a piece of plywood and some foam...

I will need a complete seat canvas (back,sides, and bottom).

New Life has done much of my Canvas work and I have been very satisfied with the work from them. A CCKW open cab with seat covers and a Ben Hur tarpaulin.

My suggestion would be to have Mona get you a quote on the work.
