It is very cool to see Steve working on this boat! We discussed Still Crazy many times and I know he has a sincere fondness for it.

Now to the photos....

Guys,
Awesome job on all the work so far!!! Glad you got to hang with my Best friend Patryk!! I wish he lived closer to me... My boat would be done by know... I got to hear all about the day, especially when he was uncovering your Dad's name up by the fairing. He is a great worker and good dude to have help out!! Keep us updated! Love what you guys are doing!

Awesome, awesome thread. Good to see a piece of history brought back to life. Guys are doing a nice job. It's a lot of work, I did a simular resto on a 91 41 5 years ago, alot of work, but it was worth every ounce of energy. Steve Stepp is awesome and always willing to help out. Good people, we don't find that very often. Bob

Default Happy New Year my brothers :-)

Be safe and have some fun. Let me know when she heads to Miami as I always love a trip to Opa Locka and Guaradaro's fine shop.

Hey Caddy! We towed Still Crazy down to Eddie's shop the week before Christmas so anytime you want to stop by she'll be there. Mike and I are heading over there tomorrow to meet with Eddie and start doing whatever we can to get the boat ready for paint. We can't wait to get the color back on and move on to the next step of putting the boat back together!

Give me a ring if you want to stop by the shop tomorrow or over the weekend, we're going to work till Sunday if there's work for us to do

Here's some shots of the trip down to Eddie's Shop:













Chris and Eddie discussing the gel cracks...

Mike putting tape on all the little hairline gel cracks to save Eddie's guys some time:


Hopefully I'll have some new pictures soon that are a little more colorful
