Got some custom stretching going on It's a slow process but it's definitely stretching, been tightening my tie downs every few days.

Got the back pulled down where it needs to be, still want to get another 1/2" or so out of the sides.

Been following this thread from the beginning. That is one beautiful Mutt. You should be very proud of that restoration.
Take Care,

I may have to sleep in it one day, I will have 3 cots to choose from, better love the smell of canvas.
