While we are on the subject, I hvae been wanting to have a top made for the
pickup bed of my Morris (called a tilt). I have worked out making the hoops
for it, but need some material like the Caribou tops.
Does anyone know of a source for the raw material so I could have someone
local fashion a custom one for me? I'm thinking of trying a place that
makes awnings, but I'm wondering if IO might find something desined for
automotive application more waterproof and durable. I want navy blue, BTW.
Any ideas?
