I guess Louie is more than just another pretty Heilite T-shirt supplier...
Nice piece of metal work. Simple, functional, and for all intents and purposes identical to the original. |

Finally got the new Bear Creek Canvas. Thanks to BO, I was able to order mine the same time he ordered his. I didn't have an original tent for them to copy.
I installed the new canvas by first setting up the frame and holding it in place with rope and spring clamps. Then I slowly worked the tent over the frame using the same clamps to hold one side while I moved the other. Can't wait for spring.

Hello all,
I have a 68 Valiant that I have been fixing up and we finally took it out for our first trip. In my excitement for the trip I forgot to tighten the leg posts and one fell off on the way out. We had to use brisk to make it level. Does anyone know of a place where I can buy one or have one made? Thanks! |
