Re: Beechwood Canvas Works new set of M37 seat covers

just me wrote:Send them to me. I'll duplicate them in Sunbrella Heritage Leaf for you. They won't stink, won't fade and will last years outside. The color is just a bit lighter than OD7.
How much to duplicate them? You want to keep the set? Let me know if you are serious and what you might want to do.

Thanks

Re: Beechwood Canvas Works new set of M37 seat covers

After making tops and seat covers for hmvs for many, many years, I can say that sunbrella makes a reasonable bikini type top, but is no where near as abrasion resistant as mil-spec canvas. Yes it is uv resistant and won’t shrink the way cotton canvas does. There is a nice Naugahyde that has a grain...

Beechwood Canvas Works new set of M37 seat covers

tumblr_p3g1mvFNau1r0j27bo1_1280.jpg I have a brand new set of seat covers, OD green, smelly. My wife won't go near them so if I have any hopes of her getting in this truck, I have to have some non military canvas made.... So she washed them in a big tub and scrubbed them, I told her it would do not...

Re: David Ahl book

Wow I see one for $259.84! So it's out of print I take it! This needs to be scanned as a .pdf if they won't sell it anymore.

Re: M37 Bikini top

Dscn1141.jpg I saw this picture, my wife has a huge sewing machine my mother gave us, if I can get the right material I think I can just make it and put the grommets in with the tool for that. I am painting my newly arrived truck so I haven't even put the soft top on it yet, I don't know how these ...

Re: Well my M37 is here!

Welcome from me also. When I got my own M37 nearly two years ago, planning on a restoration, one of the things I did was to read the many hundreds of threads about problems and solutions on this and other forums. I learned a lot from others about cautions and hints about so many things. I also acqu...

Oh a new radiator is in the back of the truck, that will be changed. It just got here from MA. Oh you are in Utah, I would love to drive this around some of those spots out there.

I just got some seat covers from Beechwood Canvas Works. They are very tough and smell like every military warehouse I've ever been it. Super tough. ** update, they stink and my wife won't get in the truck and sit on them. I may sell them and get a set in non military canvas.

Re: Well my M37 is here!

I'd move your fuel line outside and away from the manifold. You are just asking for vapor lock having it routed in there like that. Typically, where your fuel line is currently routed, is where they route the vacuum boost line from your fuel pump to your windshield wipers. But yeah, they are fun ma...

Re: Well my M37 is here!

Hey Morgan That looks like a dandy M37 with some interesting options too! I like the side spot light! Plus, seeing the rear placed windshield,it looks like it might be the very rare “dual cowl phaeton” M37! :D Looks like fun to me! Yeah it is pretty crazy to drive, this one has a rebuilt engine etc...

Anyone know which heater that is in it? From a Jeep?

There is an old heater of some kind that doesn't work, I didn't know! We drove it around a back road, lots of fun, I can't wait to get it all sorted out. The engine is fine, we have other stuff to do though!
