Hello All and Happy Thanksgiving - tomorrow. Progress ground down to a stop this week because a cold bug hit my household, started with my wife then hit me. Finger crossed, it skips the two year old. Down time gave me some time to read page 1 to 84 of the Chief resto Watermann. Insane, great work. Onto chemicalwire, oldhaven and others. Starcraft Chiefs seem to be what I can most easily identify with when talking to people about what the Camanche is.
Anyways, I still have to remove the top and transom, hopefully over the holiday weekend I can get started.
Wanted to ask some opinions on my next thought. I found a guy local to my area that does a water/glass blasting that seemed like a viable option for stripping the old paint down to bare AL. Please check out his website www.330dustlessblasting.com and let me know your thoughts. He is going to stop over to the shop next week and take a look at the boat and let me know what the costs are. Viable option?
My mom stumbled on these old postcards on ebay of the Camanche. I thought they were awesome. They are going into the binder for sure. I am going to scan the back and put it on here too. It gives a little blurb about the boat. Neat stuff. Love the colors, I will be doing this scheme for sure.
