Restoring a 38 Special
 

I'm restoring a 1993 38 Special and contacted Baja for some various parts. They said I have to go through a dealer (Oh Boy, this is going to cost me) So I called Big Thunder Marine to price out a couple of little things to feel them out. WOW!! I had no idea that Baja Parts were made of GOLD!!

I was priceing newer white hatches to replace the dark brown ones on my boat. They wanted $370.01 each for the front ones and "Get this" $598.45 Each for the rear!! WTF?? I guess I'll just have to make do.... or can I paint them?? I've seen some boat's with grafic's that are painted over them???

Oh I also priced Bolster seat switches at $53.41 each....I can find them just about anywhere!! I bet cheaper to!!

Thanks,
One broke a$$ baja owner!!

Ouch...a bit much there.
They are just standard Bomar hatches...should be able to get them at most boating goods stores.

If they are just Bomar-I have a web site address you might be able to get them. Let me know Brad, I am really looking forward to seeing your new boat. I LOVE projects!!!!! Take before during and after pics! Let me know if you want that address for that site!

Call your local Chevrolet dealer and tell them you are restoring a ten year old luxury car and need a grill, the trunk, and the power seat switch.....

This is not a Baja issue. This is an old boat issue.

My two bits.

I hear ya Adivanman, but with a car I know how and where to buy the aftermarket parts, that's why I posted it here!!

MY TWO BITS!!

A boat is a wood lined hole in the water in which you pour money. :rolleyes:

i am assuming you have mcleod bolsters. talk to brandi at mcleod, they are in taylor michigan. she is awesome. the switches only come in white and they are 15 dollars. i was in the area and she gave me 3 to switch out my black ones from my 2000 342, at no charge and offered to repaint the frames(some mild pitting) at cost. they have good customer service there...

Thanks Kbush1!!!!

See that's why I posted here on Offshore Only!! That's excatly that kind of info. I was looking for!!!

Burnsmazz, Your right!! But it's kinda addicting!!
My parents use to have that saying on a plaque above their Bar in our house. (I wonder where it is??):D

My dad still has that sign hanging on the wall,I never knew what the hell it meant until I got older and started farting around with my own stuff,that's pretty funny.
