SCT's 1969 Checkmate V191 Raceboat restoration.

Gave SCT's dad a tour of the shop tonight. Showed him all my junk piles.


Removed the stern eyes, they look pitted and bent. Replacements on the way.

Classic Checkmate! I must have missed it, but is the plan to go back to the twin 6 cylinder Mercs? That would be beyond cool.

Edit: I see in post #7 you plan to go back to the twins. NICE!
 
I think this is as close to a match as it will get.

Everything above the tape is faded, below the tape is what I'm looking to come close to.

I think it would look better colored but if its not nice clean lines it will look sloppy and crap.

My painter "dude" sent me this pix today of his prep-work. If the weather co-operates, he hopes to have the metal flake coat on soon!
