1950's Wagemaker Wolverine wooden boat restoration ...

[sphelps]

Yes I read that review . I wonder if the guy bent/pulled the little tabs back in that hold it in place ..
I think they are supposed to be hard to put back in . Thinking not a great set up by Tee Nee to start with really ..

 

[sphelps]

Hub caps made it in today !
A few swirl marks but pretty nice really ...Took a while must have been on a slow boat ..

hubcap mike with the korean newspaper packing lol

I think those are massage parlor addresses on the newspaper.

 

[zool]

Thats not packing material, Sam was just hanging out with Bob Kraft

 

[sphelps]

:lol: Honestly I haven’t been down in south Florida in years !

I have 2 coats epoxy primer on all the parts now ...
Not quite happy with the fairing on the fenders so will spend some more time on that .
Kinda disappointing because I was REALLY hoping to start shooting color tomorrow morning ...
May still though ....

I'm getting "video not available"

Video is working on my end .. Draining well at about 99% looks like ..
The wind is getting down here today .. Kinda scared to try any finish paint . I may just paint the springs and axle and see if the wind lays down any later ... Been working on the fenders . Looks much better and will shoot some high build on it also ..
Ordered some of this stuff to coat the inside of the main tube .. Somethings better than nothing I guess ..

I couldn’t hold out any longer .. Had to paint something safety yellow .. Not sure if it’s the right Tee Nee color but it is yeller ..

 

[kcassells]

Good for you!

 

[Scott Danforth]

Lol....

 

[mickyryan]

feel for the guy that hits that trailer and mentions i never saw it

 

[oldrem]

That pops for sure

 

[sphelps]

Yeah you should see it coming from a mile away ..:lol:
Just finished up the rest of the yellow . Tomorrow 1rst coat of black on the axle ,springs and cross bar bracing .. Seeing as I’m using rusto on the black I will have to shoot 2cnd coat Wednesday afternoon ..
I need to locate some tires .. I hate to see how much the white walls will cost .. May have to paint the Ww instead ..
Fenders are acceptable I think ..

 

[chevymaher]

Doing some real nice paintwork.

 

[mickyryan]

fender's look real good !
