Can you get seat foam at Joanns?

No, at least not that I found at ours... I used the Green foam they have there for a computer chair...it's not strong enough for the support your are going to be looking for...you'll want something denser than that.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

Spent the last 3 hours checking out your post. You boys have been busy. Sweet looking ride! I'm early into a basic overhaul of an old tinny runabout / soon to be fishing boat. It won't come close to yours on a good day. WTG.
By the way, did you know you have a big hole in your transom?

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

Because i am the one doing all the work on the boat while you sit in front of the computer all day. hahaha

 

[thrillhouse700]

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I sit in front of the computer for a few hours before work everyday because all the money I make goes to the boat so I can't afford to do anything else!!!!

On the plus side im excited to see the boat on sat and excited to blow **** up on sunday.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

hahahaha we give each other a hard time all day long but i think thats what makes it/us work so well. We worked together for about 5 years and now 9 months on the boat and not one argument.

Today i polished the rest of the rails and the swim step rail. Will have them on by sat. and then onto the window trim.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

No work on the boat this weekend!!! Sat I have to help my neighbor decorate his house with nice pink flowers and crystal vases. Sunday I have plans that I wouldn't want to break because it would be kind of jacked up to MY FRIENDS.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

slicktastical! I haven't yet, but I need to go back to page one to remember what that thing looked like before

( I can almost imagine a big ol gold badge on the side of the boat and a set of red and blue lights up on top of the windshield... )
