Hi Joe, that’s cool from your wife ! But I meant that since like me you have seats made by Paolo, did you recognize the smell when seats were delivered to you ?

I have been recognizing "the smell" for 7 decades, it is like an old friend.

Cannot explain why mine, from Paolo, did not smell at all.
Not a problem at all for my wife, but for me, it’s really a question mark

I have no idea, perhaps there was something in the air back in Italy.

Could smell (Amore' Aroma) have anything to do with the last person that sat on them?

Farrell Fox and Nick Hopper best for tops and seat cushions (in my estimation) - they are on facebook I see.

Got a set of seat covers from Nick a few months ago, outstanding!!! I would never put that Beachwood trash on any Jeep of mine!

Wish and Cover Crafts are some of the best online shops to purchase seat covers.

I purchased a 1943 GPW last month. Great shape and original engine. I ordered a canvas top from WeeWeb, to be made and shipped in March, and after reading all the posts about canvas, I am thinking that I should order my three canvas seats from WeeWeb as well to ensure an even match. I think I won't be dissatisfied if I do that. Sound reasonable?

No one missed anything.
PFC P: yes, get all your canvas stuff from WEEBEE. If you don't, A; it won't match, and B; it won't be right.

I have a 1943 GPW I am restoring. Need a skid plate. Anybody have one, maybe NOS from the era?

Hello pfc - you need the wanted column for your skid plate.
