Mil Spec Jeep Canvas Summer Top for Willys MB and Ford GPW. Top Deck Paulin Assembly,  Willys WO-A0-3216, Ford FM-GPW-1152700. This top is a duplicate of the original production design. Reinforced at the windshield header, upper and rear panel at bow contact points, lower rear panel and around window opening. This top will fit all Willys MBs and Ford GPWs that have the Jerry Can mount on the rear of the vehicle. Attaches to windshield frame, as the original, with eyelets that fit the Capstan style windshield studs.

Individually handcrafted in the USA. Not an off shore import. Not a mass produced product packaged for resale. You can find cheaper canvas for your MV, but you will be sacrificing quality for price.

These are made in the USA in our shop in eastern Ohio. For over 25 years, we have specialized in Mil Spec canvas items for military vehicle restorations. All components and construction details adhere to strict military specifications and original manufacturer's designs. We only use Mil Spec Cotton Duck with strict weave and treatment specifications. Our duck is treated for water, flame and mildew resistance as per the original government specifications. We do not use commonly available duck that is a so called commercial equivalent to the mil spec. We do not use off shore produced raw materials of questionable quality and origin.  Uncle Sam does not accept inferior grades of duck or inferior treatments and neither should you. Not all cotton ducks are created equal. Don't fall for an inferior product based on an attractive price. Honest pricing is reflective of the quality of the raw materials and construction methods.

We are a mom and pop shop, not a mass production facility. Any item that you purchase from us will be made by one of the two owners of this business. There are no random  employees, having off days, putting substandard products out the door. You can be assured that all steps of the production process, from cutting to packing, are under the keen eye of one (or both) of the owners. We do not have quality control issues in our shop. We do not use materials that are not Mil-Spec compliant. We are not a mass production facility. Your item will be individually cut and handcrafted with unequaled attention to detail. All of our products are made to order. Due to the shrinkage characteristics of cotton duck, we do not stock any finished product. Canvas products, that are mass produced or produced in a production line environment, then subjected to storage until sold off, will often display fit and finish problems related to shrinkage. Our canvas products, being freshly made, will fit exactly as the original product was designed. Our years of experience and our understanding of inherent shrinkage issues in natural fibers materials, has given us the knowledge to build products with proper allowances to deal with these issues so you don't have to. Our computerized design takes into account all dynamics of the cutting and assembly process, so that the product that you receive will fit as the original design intended.

All of our fitted vehicular covers are cut from 72" wide Mil Spec cotton duck, which eliminates seams in the upper panels of all tops produced by us. Seams leak, and will fail long before the intended life of the canvas product.

For many years, our product line has been well represented by the top award winners at the annual MVPA conventions and other regional venues throughout the globe. From Motorpool Restored, to First in Class, to Best of Show, our countless satisfied customers didn't settle for "second best" or "good enough" for their award winning restorations. Don't accept an inferior, mass produced or offshore clone for the most visible part of your restoration

This Top is made from #8 Cotton Duck, OD #7 color. As these are made from materials presently on hand, and as computer monitors present colors differently, the photos should be considered a representative sample. You will receive 1 Top, as shown made from #8, Olive Drab #7 Cotton Mil Spec Duck.

As we specialize in Mil Spec work, we do not carry any other canvas colors other than OD #7.

Avoid our normal production lead time by purchasing through ebay. As all of our items are generally made as ordered, we will devote Friday of each week to producing items purchased through ebay. Your item will either ship on Friday or the following Monday.

Jaguar F-type prototype (2013): the testing videos

Thu, 05 Apr 2012

As Jaguar confirmed its new F-type sports car at the 2012 New York auto show, it issued some teaser video footage of the new £55,000 roadster landing in showrooms in spring 2013. Jag ambassador and former racer Martin Brundle hitches a lift with the company's chief dynamics engineer Mike Cross for a few hot laps in the F-type prototype around its handling circuit at Gaydon. We can safely ignore the hyperbole poring forth ('It's responsive, it's a great car to drive') but it's a good chance to see the all-aluminium F-type in action.
