I am looking at rebuilding my 88 SFM and love what you have do with yours. If you don't mind I have a couple of questions....

How did you build the flip down jump seats, did you make them yourself, where did you get the hinges?

I also like the dash compared to what I have, where did it come from or how did you make it?

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 v5 Restoration re model

Hey CR, Yes I built the jump seats, I got the hinges from a marine dealer, I also built the dash, got the face plate and gauges from a marine dealer and built the back part, if you look at my profile and look at my current rebuild another starcraft v5 it shows how I built the dashes, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Redoing my interior, thought two tone would be a good idea, hate it looks like patchwork, going to remove the dark carpet and redo it all in light grey.

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 v5 Restoration re model

looking good even with the two tone

Thanks Brenn, got rid of the dark grey, redid with same light grey as the rest, just dry fitted so far, I think it looks better.

Hey John, you must need a new project, your getting bored and redoing brand new real nice work.

Yes Glen, I guess it's like Jason's paint job he doesn't like it and he's re painting it, like someone said to him that's the thing he'll see every time he looks at it, same thing with me I'm keeping this boat and I don't want to live with something that looked like patch work or that I ran out of one color and finished it with another.

Rats, I've become "that guy" around here haven't I:facepalm:

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 v5 Restoration re model

Hey Jason I know exactly how you feel, other people might not notice your paint job but you won't be happy till it's the way you want it and you're the guy who has to live with it.

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 v5 Restoration re model

Wow John...I didn't really notice that dual-color carpet before...but when you see it up against the new panels, quite an improvement!

The only thing that can make it look even better??? -> fish

Re: 1979 Starcraft 18 v5 Restoration re model

Thanks guys, I don't think it'll see any fish till next year Blue.
