A few more upgrade pics Part 2
 

Some more pics of my progress.

Bolster bases were originally done in purple and were in perfect condition. BUT, since I am not that thrilled with purple, it was time to change the bases to what I like. :rolleyes:

Is that paint or can they powder coat like that?

Re: A few more upgrade pics Part 2
 

All the grab handles were painted some wierd azz ugly blue. Then they had a red leather sleeve in the middle. Well, didn't like that color either. So I sent them to B-Bracket in Fla to be painted like the seat bases. They also added the Cig script logo.
Looks 200% better.

The small handles will be added to the side of the boat for the rear passengers. The front passenger handle had to be sent back because the logo was painted upside down. :eek:

that answers my question!

Re: A few more upgrade pics Part 2
 

The embroidery on the bolster center sections and panel above door had seen too much sun. So I sent them off to Sunrise Uph (OSO member Lakeluvr) to be re-done.

One bolster section had a small tear in the vinyl, so I had them re-upholstered too.

(Great job John!!)

I have had most of this sitting in the garage for a few weeks. But I left work early today and decided to assemble the seats.

Daum there are a lot of sharp staples in there. :eek:

This is a pic of the completed bolster.

Bottom pic is before.

Did I mention the staples were sharp???

Re: A few more upgrade pics Part 2
 

OUCH! :eek:

Nice job on the cockpit cheesecake!

love those handles.

Sweet Bill

How do you get to all the screws for the head piece and the handle for the seat?-

Re: A few more upgrade pics Part 2
 

Looking good man, what a big difference!!

The weather has been warm yesterday and today it was warm but rainy :(

Re: A few more upgrade pics Part 2
 

Those bolster center pieces look really nice, Bill. I'm with GLH, how do you get those separated?

Awesome upgrades!

Looks like you attempted to chop off your ring finger...

Re: A few more upgrade pics Part 2
 

To remove the head piece above the door: The bottom is held in with 2 Christmas trees and very carefully pulls out. At the very top are 2 screws. To access the 2 screws, you need to remove the pad that is at the top of windscreen. It is held in w/ Christmas trees. Be careful - it is made from FG and "appears" to be fragile.

To access the seat center & handles:
You need to remove seats from the base. At the bottom are 2 small covers held on w/ 3 phillips screws that hide the access holes. Remove those covers and look inside. You'll then see how to remove both the seat center section (2 studs / bolts coming from headrest) and the handles (2 bolted studs coming f/ seat back).

But becareful - the inside of the seat has hundreds of sharp staple ends waiting just for you! :eek:

Since we have Tigers the head piece deal does not affect us but thank you very much for the bolster information. Looks like a project for next winter.

Hi Bill, things are really coming together and looking great. Glad you like the way things turned out that we did. Sorry to see the wounds, guess that just comes with the territory. The insides of those bolsters are full of fiberglass shards that are a major problem too, and can take chunks of hide off. Will anxious to see the completed project. Take care.
