Can-Back soft camper shell for '93 Pickup

I'm looking to buy a soft camper shell for my '93 extended cab pickup. The few I've found haven't been very impressive on durability/quality (as much as I can tell from the interwebs). That is except for the Can-Back shells. These rugged fellas look awfully tough (and fit the overall look of my gen trucks perfectly, imho). The problem is, I think they've gone out of business. Here's an excerpt directly from their site at www.can-back.com:

"UPDATE (Mar 2013):
We had started full production on the Can-Back at the end of 2009. However, the canvas sewing vendor that we selected to sew the canvas performed a lot of work for GM. Normally, this is a good recommendation as this company had passed GM's quality control audits and understood the demands of sewing tops for vehicles. But when GM declared bankrutpcy, this sewing company was not able to survive on the new volumes, and went out of business a few years later.
We are now in the process of tooling up another canvas vendor, and expect to restart production in July 2013.
Please add your name to our Status Notification List, and we will send you two emails and a phone call when your vehicle is ready for production. "

I'm pretty sure we passed July 2013 at some point, but I haven't heard anything about their supposed restart. Basically, this is a really long preface to my real question:

Does anyone know where I can buy a Can-Back soft camper shell for my '93 PU?
