Well at least you could have color matched the tank straps, Dozer. Those belong in Lakes boat. Serious - snazzy SS, buddy.

Ya gotta love red.

What's this now?

Not stirrin any pots here.

Red is fine but it seems out of place. Can that material be died? Just seems too feminine in that boat. But hey if it works...

Hey now they are not red they are orange and orange goes with brown just ask the great Boot Bear form A&W lol

Jason my pinstripping came today, and a quick track on my steering cable says it should be here Friday. The tires and wheels are here and I am repacking the wheel bearings in the morning. Baring any unforseen problems she should splash Sunday ( if the weather holds) It took almost a full can of eather to get my picker going this morning, so she is plugged in for tonight.

A&W Root beer....Yum. Brings back good memories of the drive ins they used to have around here when I was a kid. I still crave those burgers and girls delivering on roller skates. Am I dating myself? :facepalm:

I just hope someone around here splashes here this weekend.

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 SS ALMOST SPLASH TIME

Thanks GLG, looks like the only one splashing this weekend is going to be Lake, between work and the weather it is not cooperating.

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 SS ALMOST SPLASH TIME

Steering cable came yesterday, got it installed last night, will try and wrap up the last of the wiring this morning, and a few odds and ends, go over the pre launch list. The job for tomorrow is postponed till Monday. The way the weather is shaping up, very thin ice was out about thirty feet on all the sloughs around here yesterday morning, so if I'm going to splash this year it will have to be tomorrow.

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 SS ALMOST SPLASH TIME

Good luck with the launch, Glen, hope you can do it. I'm looking at 2-4" or 4-8" of snow today, depending on who you listen to.
