Ahhh! Canvak.

This was really just an exercise to see if I could actually get an image small enough to load. The top looks better now with the front rail in place and after the second shrinking. Much happier with this than the metal hardtop I had.

Looks good. How much did the canvas cost ya?

There is nothing like the smell of new canvas. My wife disagrees with that after having to ride home from the Kansas Nationals, with our new M37 canvas in a small rental car.

I love the smell of Canvas in the morning...

The top was $395 from MWM. Here is a pic from this morning. It is fully mounted (got the new retainer for the windshield top installed) and has been force shrunk twice. I'll let the rest of the shrinkage happen naturally.

Just me ..... top looks great , where did you get the covers for the head lights ?

With the exception of the top, every bit of cloth anything on the truck came from my garage. And soon, a Marine Corps 'Jeep style' summer top will be made and fitted. There is quite a bit of upholstered stuff on my truck, but it all looks like it should be there. Tool rolls, document bags, water buckets, lever covers, winch covers, tire iron bags, windscreen cover etc. Gives me a little something to do with my sewing machine.

Ha , Excellent work ! very original , I must get myself a sewing machine !

Here's a pic of my M37

What was your top shrinking method?

Mount the top.
Spray outside with hot (ish) water on a 90°F day and let it air dry.
then put a tarp from under windshield frame and cover the seats and dash. Spray entire underside of canvas on hot day and let it air dry.
That is all it took and it is a nice tight fit.

That would work if it ever got that hot up here.....
