@@MrFsr1986 People that buy canvases and fabrics to make things for themselves do have sewing machines though. Otherwise you can't make it yourself and have to purchase pre-sewn products. Technically you could make it without the sewn hem but it wouldn't be as strong or look as nice.

Very nice videos! I have to say that when using any kind of drill your hair needs to be tied back. this is a must! I was working in a shop and my friends hair got caught in the spinning chuck! he held on so tight the he could not let go of the trigger! needless to say we called him patch for the couple months... the shorter the bit the more control... body shop supplies have short double end drill bits for drilling into car panels. looking forward to your next video!!!

i did the same thing but when it rained the weight of the water gathered on the vinyl and I had ponding and it stretched the vinyl. the solution was to use 4 pieces of electrical conduit that was hammered flat at the ends where it rested on the truck and it lay across the truck and helped shed the ponding water. Also the snaps were hard to put on in the winter as the vinyl got cold and shrank.

I have to say that your cover looks absolutely fantastic! when you drilled those holes though I cringed. I would have used some flashing or something similar and used the post mount holes in the bed to mount by. you wouldn't have to damage anything that way. I have a classic...no way I'm drilling. Those sewing skills are serious though.

If you go about 15 seconds in the video it list the finished dimensions as 59.5"x74". A roll of vinyl is about 61.5" inches wide ( I foled my edges over) With pretty much any fabric, the finished width by the mill can vary plus or minus a half inch or so. I always double check before I start cutting. Thank you.
