I got the mat from Midwest Military, they are the only place I found that has the mat 46 inches wide. You need that for the carryall and the panel. Phil

Repairs made to seat frames, test fit in truck. Now off to the sandblaster!

I converted this extra drivers seat to a middle seat, the frame and sheet metal are the same.

Something I have done on my last three restorations is replace the steel hood pin with a solid brass brazing rod. No rust creeping out of the hinge, don't have to oil, and will not rust.

I put the top on today, I have been dreading this. It was not bad, took about three hours.
Covered any sharp edges with seam sealer. I used a little contact glue on this edge to get the canvas to lay flat, but it was not realy needed.

Used wood pegs to hold the other side as I streached the canvas as I hammered in the rubber seal. Used a dul screw driver to push in the seal lip as I went along. Used water to make the seal go in a little easer.

Half way there.

Used a razor knife to cut the canvas under the seal.

Done.

looks great as all your work does. what kind of canvas do you use? more waterproof modern type or stock type?

Thank you, I do appreciate the feedback.
I used stock canvas from Beachwood. I have not decided to "coat" it with anything yet, but don't think I will.
