In Ireland flax is used to make linen. My family had linen mills there, long ago. Pretty durable fabric. I found a number of firehose offcuts behind the shop yesterday - forgot about having them ... always good for protecting something or other.

Great suggestions and insights in this thread. Another source worth considering for 'period authenticity' is canvas webbing, which comes in various widths. You can always waterproof it with a bitumen based product.

It is good to consider what will happen after some time when the beetles eat the fabric. It would probably be better to do the plating exactly on the log so that later some polyurethane foam and similar things do not have to be added, which are very difficult to remove and have nothing to do there. I recently saw a disassembled car that was repaired by a specialist company some time ago. There were all these accessories. the sheet was glued to the skeleton. In places where there was a gap it was filled with polyurethane foam. There was 5 cm = 50 mm = 2 "of sealant on the top panel. They used an ax and a hammer to remove the sealant.
So watch out for the fillings. Yes, technology makes it possible. But but. From the logic of things. Wood works alone. If the plating is made correctly on the frame. After some time, the tolerances level out and the sheet rests very close to the frame. There is no gap in 30 years. So what is it all about? If you park in a dry garage, it is good to have a bucket of water under the car.
