The snow came Christmas Eve. It can now go and bring spring weather.
 Yes the canvas is one of the ones Stewart got made. No leather straps but it has web straps on the inside. Yup red and green bungee cords. I’ve made up the proper rope to match the original ropes on my NOS canvas. However I still need to wax them before I install them on the canvas. I was surprised at just how much rope was used on one cover... over 50’

Waxing so eloquently.....
Hi Jordan
Was the waxing process typical of that time??? I know the Navy used to pin tar the manila ropes to make them last in the wet environment. How will you do yours....... rubbing or soaking in melted parrafin??? Cheers

I guess this is my first post of the year. It’s been a very busy fall/winter and early spring doing home renovations. But they are done and some shop time has returned. The shop need a huge cleanup as I created quite the mess from running saws and a plainer from the renos. Taking advantage of the summer like weather (sunny, 20deg) I pulled both vehicles out. Both started up without any issues and the shop looks a lot better for it.

Bob, I’ve yet to get to finishing my ropes. They are on my list. I’m thinking of setting up some kind of double boiler to melt the wax and then put the ropes through it.

Any chance they were using bees wax back then, Jordan?
