Re: 1968 Larson All American

so its raining today i wanted to work some more on the rear bench seat, i made a backrest out of 1/4 ply made it hollow to be lightweight with a divider as it will double as a speaker box, this i will glass to the platform behind the bench seat and attach padding, i was trying to scrub/polish the gelcoat, noticed the color is worn thru in places, now trying to decide if i should gelcoat or paint it?

so it rained too much to glass in my backrest so i pulled the wheels of the trailer so i can clean them up and paint them with a fresh coat of white, i got some decent tires saved back at work im off tomorrow so if the paint dries enough i can stop by before they close to mount and balance going to paint the fenders blue, the lug bolts blue too

Re: 1968 Larson All American

thanks, i put a lot of work in this, i tend to keep things, been driving the same vehicles for 15 years and do not plan to replace them, so i plan to keep this boat the rest of my life, it suits me, though i may add a hard top, and i may have to modify the truck to handle the towing
