Awesome!

bd, give Mike a call and give him the Vin number. He can tell you what the correct colors of the interior should be. I'm 99% sure they can recreate the interior for you.

Thanks chris. Oh and thanks BB for checking it out for me.

Started buffing it out today the silver looks great with just the fast action compound.I cant wait to see it after the whole process.I'm using race glaze compounds on it . It's a three step process bill taught me. Worked great on the trimate and is working extreemly well on this project.The black has come back and it is usually the hardest color to buff out as it absorbs all the sun light it gets and bake's dry but it shines nice and will look like new.Does anybody know how to refinish teak wood? Or have any info on omc stringer drives? Mine say's hi-perf on it.Any ideas? Well I'll be working on it all day christmas eve and I'll take some more pics.I'll get these pics up as soon as posible.

Talked to mike combs yesterday and gave him the vin he's going to get me all new skins for her and some gel and fleck to fix a few spots.
Working on getting the bilge pumps and lights working today. I sent chris pics so they should be up soon.

I need to find a set of removable coolers that are missing and if anybody could send me pics of the back seat and the wood it would be a great help as mine has been replaced and does not open very well.
well thats all for now CHECKMATE'S RULE
