Maybe Jeff should rack store this year.....oh yeah I forgot he would need to remove his Baywatch Arch

Chicks dig da' arch Frank! :party-smiley-004:

Really?

I was kind of suprised to see you didn't express any interest in that one that's FS for your boat! :party-smiley-004:

Adam,

Care to share some sneak-peek pics of the new paint yet??? :food-smiley-007:

Not really the look Im going for Scot, although it would be a good way to stablize the top of the new stripper pole!:eek:

You could look at the other way too to help 'sell/justify' the stripper pole to Nellie... Honey, we need the pole in the middle to help support the new arch! :lolhit:

above the rub rail will be done by sat night....

cool color.

Wow, that's going to look really sharp in the sun!

Did you decide to go with the stripes? If so, what size and color?

Looks great Adam. Roll that thing in the sun and W O W !!

yeah the sun really makes it pop. yeah im going with the striped but only up the center of the bow. they are going to be almost an exact match to an onld SS chevy. but instead of white the pin stripe is going to be silver.

Who's doing the painting?

yeah that looks great, adam I was going to paint my drag car a similar color but its a bear to mantain. My buddy has a dual blown GTO thats the same basic color. gets allot of attention at shows.

As for my 80's arch its a BIMINI not an ARCH. Studio 54 is the only one around I know that had an ARCH. Kevs just not MAN ENOUGH to run it. Fear of criticsm from the penut gallery caused him to leave it off.

COST?

ill keep that between me and him, but with that said, he is the best in the area when i comes to doing bikes. this is the first complete boat he is doing, but he would like to get into the business, and is also amazing when it comes to touch up.

we were cleaning up when moses stopped by and talked to him about doing some touch up work on his formula. dunno if they ever worked anything out though.

My dad has a 1969 Chevelle SS 396 Convertible with hugger orange paint and the white stripes down the middle. They would look awesome together.

was he expensive or reasonable? we can just leave it at that!

thats a nice color combo!

Although I am more partial to the camaro/firebird body style to the chevelle /GTO body.

Same power lighter weight!

still a great car though

He bought it new while he was in college. Can't find any pics right now...maybe Big Time has some.

It's not the original(325 HP) motor. I think its about a 440 CID with 450 HP now. He doesn't race it or anything. He just drives it through the beach on Sunny Sunday's checking out the chicks in bikinis.

You painting your rig? Paint it black it is slimming and will make look longer:evilb:

The paint on my Cafe was $20K including pop up nav light and new cleats as well my swim platform and rails.

That price included stripping too. All top of the line paint and 10-12 coats of clear. If you saw the boat up close it was amazing detail especially the carbon fiber logo. This stuff ain't cheap but it updates an older boat.

Oh, and Big Time had the most ridiculous 1977 Firebird Formula. Canary yellow with yellow honeycomb rims. Had to register it in Maine where there are no rules. The thing didnt have a catalytic converter, seat belts didnt work, etc.

who's the f#g driving the weinie Cig????????? :party-smiley-004:

Just kidding of course! I saw the paint close up and it was amazing! :coolcowboy: It had ALMOST as many colors as someone's Formula!

That would have been a good boat for Scot.:drink:

Oh, BTW, Jeff asked me to let everyone know that there is a Board of Governers meeting tonight at The Outback in Southington. Enyone wanting to stop by and voice an opinion is welcome. Contact Jeff if you have any questions......

The meeting got canceled last minute. We will be holding one next week. If anyone has anything that they would like to have discuss please let Jeff, Christian or myself know.

Thanks
Steve

I txted jeff...I almost ventured out...

Ahh someone is smart and owned a PONTIAC I knew I liked that guy!

I dont know if you noticed Einstein, but HE WAS MAKING FUN OF THE CAR !!!!

Ha ha! Flat black at that...

$20k for that paint job seems like a pretty decent price to me, knowing what goes into paint work with that amount of detail... it looked amazing and was very tastefully done.

While I'm not really a fan of the Cafe's (sorry Mikey), Frank did a great job restoring that boat and the guy that bought it certainly bought it right.

My Firebird Formula was sweeeeettt!! Great first car to have at 16...... :party-smiley-004:

LOL

Dont know if you noticed, IQ 4 below plant life, I was difusing the stupidity in his post!:coolcowboy:

PONTIACS RULE!

Ask Sick about my BIRD he rode in it!

ask him how streetable it is and still capable of 9's

BTW ford had gone in 60 seconds, and bullit

Pontiac had smokey and the bandit (new car stock), knight rider (New car stock), even Two lane blcktop (GTO new car stock). Mopar had the movie Hot rod and vanishing point (New car stcok!) ( except for when they crashed the car at the end they used a 69 camaro cause they didnt want to destroy a MOPAR)

what did chevy have?

corvette summer CHEESEY reworked car!
American graffiti Hacked up changed around cebby.

Even in two lane blacktop it was a worked, built, chebby against a STOCK GTO RAIV

Pathetic

Not one chevy in a good movie that didnt have to be reworked and built to compete.LOL I guess thats why theres so many after market parts for chebbys they needed them!

OK genius disprove my theory?

I have to join in here. As with Jeff I am a Sutphen and Firebird fan. Two 78 T/A's one gold when I was 15 and one black as a wedding present, then a black 95 formula. I did have an 83 camero too but that was just to get me back and forth to college.

Congrats Jeff on the most pathetic post of all time on OSO can we get back to boats please......you really are an against the grain kinda of guy:argue:

Frank,
What's the status of the boat/drives?

BTW, I heard OP has your boat listed? :D
