Default Velocity VR1 project

I picked up a Velovity VR1 that had been set up to race. Someone may recognize the boat. These are some pics of what it looked like before it was taken back to the Velocity factory to be redone. I'll post more pics as the work is done.

Wrap was removed and interior ripped out. Windshield put on.

Lots of work to go.

The wrap looked good from a distance but looked worn when you got close up. It had a bunch of scratches and was starting to peel. Once it was off, I just decided to go with paint.

I'm thinking that the windshield was not part of the boat when it was first built, given that it was built to race. It only had front seats. But since it was bought by someone along the way and it's what Velocity uses and fits perfectly. I used it.

I love what you are doing.

Window looks great on that boat and the new grafic flows very well with the lines. keep up the good work on it.
