Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

How about painting that one with glow in the dark paint? The green paint lasts for 14 hours nowadays and it is barely visible in the daylight.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

HAHAHA that would scare the catfish away!!! or maybe it would lure them to their untimely deaths.....

Either way we are still unsure if we wants flames or have it just kind of fade into the boat. I do like flames but every "bro", MMA fighter, Matco tool, ghetto rides have flames on them............. Sadly, flames just don't hold the same badass-ness that they used to with the rodders. Pepboys kinda killed the flame trend.

i kinda like just the head....but have been playing around with the head and water waves (water spray instead of wear the flames are)

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

Ok guys, We are itchy again so you know what that means!

We finished up the trailer bunks and new rollers, and roller shafts....

Pushed the trailer into the garage

Pushed the boat out onto the driveway

Then, by the power of the internet BAM!!!

Ok not really, I was going to try and get pictures of our very not osha approved method of flipping it but it went off without a hitch.
6 inch lag bolt into a beam and chain to the rear of the boat, cherry picker up front, piece of carpet to reduce chafing and 3 people.

Then we installed all of our hardware,

Sadly in doing so I put the first F*^@ing scratch in the paint. Hope there is touch up.....

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

Oh and I forgot to post these pictures earlier before the boat flip.

Here is our tabbed in stringer and bilge box.

We put our final lay up of mat on the stringer tonight, but was too dark for pics and I was tired. Took a freaking gallon of resin, sooooo we may be out of money again soon.

Later this week we will wrap our deck boards in fiberglass, pour in the foam in the recessions and glass over them. Then install the front 3 deck pieces and rest the cap back on so we can mock up where our seat pedestals will be in relation to the gunwales. Then with the seat bases installed we can cut the deck for the below deck storage, and mock up our awesome rod holders!

Rod holders are a secret design for now. Prob already done but we just had a great idea one night so we willt ry it.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

Damn man... That paint is like glass.

It'll be too nice to get wet. You might want to set it up on the trailer in the driveway and just have drinks in it

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

Looks great man. That sweet black boat needs a freshly painted white trailer to sit on

 

[thrillhouse700]

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

Thanks for the comments guys! the trailer might get painted later and I mean way later, right now we have to keep our eyes on getting the boat back in one piece.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

So I got this half built boat in my driveway. But "Thrillhouse700" decided he needed to help his friend remodel a house, and set the build back a week. Haha, guess it's alright.

Re: 1975 Omega Restore, the project goes on.

So we got more done today, I have been busy with another project for the last week. "LostCause" has been working on it while I have been away. He got the deck all shaped up and fitting right, got the glass on the bottom of the deck, finished up the foam on the sides of the hull, and finished the bow eye.

Today we got the front 3 deck boards in.

Here is me mixing up some PB.

We laid in the deck boards and drilled pilot holes and screwed them down tot he stringer with coated screws, then removed the screws and the deck boards. Then filled the hole in the stringer with 5200, and filled the hole through the deck with 5200, after that we put a bead of PL down the center of the stringer and around the holes to keep water out of that area even better.

Then we put our PB around the edges and joints of the deck, then we layed up the glass

Heres us putting on the resin.

Deck layed up

Here it is with the forward parts of the glass on, reason for the glass only going partially down the third deck board is because of 2 reasons...

1. We are laying up the glass staggered from the deck seems for more strength.
2. the 4th and 5th deck boards will go in AFTER the cap goes back on, we have to measure the 4th deck board back for the pedestal mounts and need the cap on to get the proper placement.

Our new HF trailer jack

18.99 with coupon!!!

And here is the awesome job that LostCause did on the bow eye layup

Back to the other project for me for a few days, I'm helping my buddies parents lay wood floors in their new house so hopefully they can move in by next weekend. So I have been strapped for time. Hopefully by next week I will be back on the boat.
