hows your sunsation look???? throw a few pics of that thing up here on the tread and i would be happy to tear it down for you. you've got a lot to say about someones project that you have never seen in person, not one positive thing. most people on here would love to see more pics and updates. it's enjoyable to watch someones build thread but when a holes like yourself come on here bashing and bashing the op will disappear and the rest of us don't ever get to see a finished product. cocky or not, it's his deal, not yours and i don't think he ever asked anyone for there input on interior and paint. like i said, it's his project not anyone elses

Phil,
I haven't seen all of this thread or even your 100% plans, but just my opinion since I recently picked up an 89 Bullet; there were certain things I looked for when buying. Redone dash because the old style is hideous. Newer style steering wheel. Controls weren't as big of a deal, but preferred newer controls. Mine still has the old cloth cabin and its clean so I was fine with it, but it will not be staying. I am only mentioning a couple things that I saw others comment on, but a newer dash would definitely go far with a redone boat. Maybe thats part of your final plan... Good luck with everything..

Opinions vary regarding how much to modernize and how much to keep classic I guess.

Have seen lots of new boats and redo's with it lately. Even center consoles. It's a timeless look if done right. Think it looks great adds a bit of pop to plain interiors. The old tuck and roll is old school, but it also has it's place.

Quit bashing on the guy. I was his age when I came on here and still not much older. May not have had the same way of doing things but give him a break. OSO has a wealth of knolage it and would be a shame if younger people in the sport got turned away by the bs on here some times. You forget not many new boats go fasts are being made these days so letting the younger guys in is very important. I get very excited when I get to sign up youger people at my poker run. Show there is still hope for years to come. Give him a break the boat looks good. May not be what you would have done or what you like. Same goes with my build Thead and every other one on here. To each their own!
