The last I talked to them the seat bottoms were $55 and the backs were a little cheaper. It is best to call them I think. Also, They will not do tops. I tried.

Thanks Steve. I want to get them but really need to get my paint done first. I have 3 cushions that are pretty rough. At least the backs are all there. All I need are the bottoms. Thanks for the info.

Here is a updated photo of my halftrack I have been working on.  I want to thank Paul Jacobs, and the Steves for all their help on my restoration.  Pauls parts are perfect and it really went together nice.!!!! Everything I got from Paul was a perfect fit. and priced very reasonable..

Lookin Good! We are having a big reenactment at Camp Adair Oregon at the end of May. You should bring it down! Looks like we will have 2 Hellcats, a Stuart and my M3 there and the Germans are going to have a Panzer three, a halftrack and two 222 armored cars. It's going to be a kick!

I wish I could, but getting it there is a major issue.  as it is so heavy I have no trailer to haul it on...

took the Autocar to its first car show.  A lot of people liked it.  No trophey, a Jeep scrambler beet me out of the prize.  I couldn't believe it was chosen as "best off road" class above the track.  ha ha

Happens a lot.  Most people at car shows don't get real excited about military vehicles.

John,
Your track looks great! Is that a pulpit from Superjeep? If so, how did it go on fit wise? Also, did you see the mine rack drawings I posted? You should be able to get a set made locally now.

yes, got the pulpit from Paul.  It fit perfect!!!  I did see the mine rack drawings.  some day I will show them to my fab shop, and maybe drop off the track to have them fit them... thanks..

I find a lot of people get excited about my MV at car shows but the organizers and other participants are the ones that turn up their nose. Can't wait to debut my track in a few weeks for Memorial Day. I only wish I could have my paint done by then but it will be done by my first show mid June.
