| Jeepchasm.com is proud to announce that Beachwood Canvas Works is its' newest sponsor! Beachwood Canvas is known to many folks restoring and preserving vintage military vehicles for their quality canvas products and parts, but did you know that they make high quality tops, top bows, and seats for vintage civilian vehicles too? We used quality Beachwood Canvas Works vinyl seats for the 1951 CJ3A restoration featured on this website! (After 3 years of use, these very same seats look as good as the day they were installed, which is a testament to the quality of materials and craftsmanship!) We recently were invited to North Carolina to install Beachwood Canvas top bows and canvas top on Bob Boxley's beautiful CJ3A. Take a look at the photo below! Beachwood Canvas Works tops, top bows and seats are all proudly made right here in the USA! |
| The photo to the right shows Bob's CJ3A with Beachwood top bows and canvas top in "summer mode!" With the doors and side curtains removed, passengers are protected from the sun and sudden downpours. The top bows and support rods in this set-up install in minutes and can be done by one person. The top bows come unfinished so that you can paint or powder coat them to fit your needs. (Early CJ2A's and CJ3A's were generally painted black. Some later CJ's like the CJ3B were painted a dark green.) The set-up pictured to the right was installed in less than 1 hour. It went on easy and fit like a glove! (Be sure that the track at the top of your windshield is not bent from your hood blocks or otherwise obstructed so that the top slides freely through the track!) |

| Beachwood Canvas Works has seats for your vintage Civilian Jeep! Jeepchasm's very own 1951 CJ3A (pictured left & below) has sported Beachwood seats since her restoration 4 years ago. (These seat coverings and cushions are custom made in a variety of colors, in both vinyl and canvas.) Our Jeep has gone topless for 4 years and these seats look as good as the day we installed them! Beachwood's detailed instructions made it easy for us to install the seats with only basic hand tools and a pack of large binder clips! Again, just like their tops, these are sleek, form fitting seats, just like the originals. Our CJ3A has been featured in magazines and won numerous awards at car shows. We attribute some of our success to the great looking Beachwood seats! |

| Special thanks to Bob Boxley in North Carolina for letting us participate in the installation of his Beachwood Canvas Works top and for allowing us to photograph his Jeep! |
| Think you've seen this CJ3A before? Maybe you have, if you visited the official Jeep(R) website! The Jeepchasm.com 1951 CJ3A is featured in the Jeep Heritage Vehicle Lineup! Check it out... http://www.jeep.com/en/experience/legacy/index.html With quality Beachwood Canvas Works products, your Jeep can look this good too! |

| The photo to the left shows a rear view of our Beachwood Canvas Summer Top. Take notice of the attention to detail and the neat clean fit! (We have seen plenty of poorly made, loose fitting CJ tops from other manufacturers, which made the fit of this Beachwood top all the more impressive!) Folks with reproduction and replacement tubs will need to be sure to get their footman loops in the correct original placement. Plenty of folks wonder what those loops on the tail-gate are for. Here, you can see that the web straps and buckles are threaded through the footman loops in order to tighten and secure the rear of the top. The quality craftsmanship and attention to detail is clearly evident in all of the items made by Beachwood Canvas Works! (This pic was taken at the 14th Annual PA Jeep All Breeds Jeep show in York, PA. Our CJ3A took the 1st Place trophy in the Stock Pre-CJ5 Willys Class!) |
| The 4 photos above show the quality of the various bends and welds in the USA made top bow set. We took these shots before we painted the hardware black so you could get a better perspective of the craftsmanship! |
| Need straps? Beachwood Canvas makes matching canvas straps for your vintage Willys Jeep Vehicle! Stow your canvas and top bows attractively and securely with original style web straps. Don't forget to get a matching windshield tie down strap too! |
| Enough about tops, on to bottoms! (seats) |
