RESTO My 96 speedster restoration

[DeanBrantley]

So the 60 x 24 sheet was enough?

 

[cncsignman]

I had to get another 12x60 piece to do everything. 36x60 should be enough but it takes careful placement in order to fit everything on the sheet. I made patterns with painters tape then digitized it on the computer and cut with my plotter.

Got the other speaker in finally

Performance is acceptable... [emoji15]

Wow that is beautiful ! Nice Work ! How did you get the yellow hood and steering shaft shroud (where the gauges are) to look like That? Is that buffing and polishing or repaint ? Again nice job

 

[cncsignman]

Thanks!! The front hood and steering shroud was primed and painted with yellow krylon fusion yellow. I water sanded after a few coats and days of drying then one good slick coat. Applied turtle wax ice then buffed.

I like the placement of the radio control. Nice choice

Got the new seat covers in Monday. Should have seats completed after some minor foam repair.

 

[cncsignman]

What a beautiful day today! I worked on the new seats and got the rear backs and front bow back installed today. Also installed a 12v plug and dual USB charger. Hope to get the rear bench installed soon.

Great looking boat!
Good job

 

[cncsignman]

Thanks ruskeyjdm!
Almost finished the bench yesterday but ran out of staples. Here's what I got so far.

 

[cncsignman]

Finished the bench except for a few more outer staples. Now for the fun part of bolting them back in.

Boat is looking really good. Love the colors

 

[cncsignman]

Thanks! I decided not to go with yellow on the seat backs and bottoms since I did the hood in yellow. Would have been too much I think.

 

[ialonso]

I would have advised against the dark color as they will get hotter, but who cares. If it's hot, throw some water on them, and if it's cold out, the seats will be more comfortable.
Color looks awesome.

 

[cncsignman]

Good point. I'll definitely keep the water splashing on them. Lol. Might even consider a small Bimini for when it's real hot and I'm anchored and chillin.

 

[Fat Tony]

Man that turned out great!!

 

[cncsignman]

Thanks fat tony! You were right about the bench being a PITA. I'm just ready to get it on the water!!

 

[cncsignman]

Well... After a lot of hard work, we finally got the boat in the water today.
Here is a video of my son showing off. Lol. This is gonna be a fun summer!!!

[racerxxx]

That's a lot of cooler right there. I assume you needed to test that out to make sure there is enough storage, lol.

 

[Jeff W]

Yeah worked out good. My coolers I ordered back in October finally got here yesterday.

 

[racerxxx]

Boat looks great. I hope you guys have a blast, they're a hoot on the water.

 

[hotrodssnova]

Wait till you beach it, that's some fun there. I live in Houston, so, it's kinda easy to do here. It's gotta be chilly there in March.

 

[Fat Tony]

Looks like yall had a whole lot of fun in it. The boat looks fantastic!

 

[cncsignman]

Thanks Tony! It's been a fun project. Definitely happy with the results.
