Love them Rudes,did you hand paint the shield on the front of that 56?I have a 7520 I would like to restore someday but I am no artist.

Wow, you must work fast. Winter hasn't hardly begun yet. How many more to do?

Nice job - is that North York paint?

Its going to be a slow year for me - I only have 1 to do, but its stuck, so that'll add time to it.

 

[HighTrim]

Thanks all.

Jim, yes NY Marine paint and decals on them. I have 5 more in various stages of resto right now, all for others too. No time to do my own!

bspeth, that is a decal. No way could I hand paint that! lol

Beautiful Work !

I would love the source of the decals,its the only thing that kept me from starting a resto already

 

[Scott Danforth]

Fantabulous

 

[jbcurt00]

Nymarine.ca should have the decal

Same place HT got the paint

NYMarine.ca has all the popular late model "classic" decals, but they are not real "decals". They are "stickers". But once you clear coat them only a real officianado could tell the difference. Their paint is simply the best, bar none.

Google "outboard motor salvage decals". They have the genuine original waterslide decals, and their inventory covers most all outboards ever made. They are harder to apply, but if you want total originality, or need a decal for an older "antique", they are the way to go,

I think NyMarine also sells epoxy covered logos, so that they are more of a 3d badge.

recommend American Outboards for decals (post 15, above), on the eastern shore in MD (Cordova). Ask for Dora -- knows more about parts and history than anybody you may have met to date. If you get there in person, ask to check out their salvage and parts stock (warehouses, semi trailers....)

Absolutely Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Yes look at my last pic of the '57 10hp Johnson. It has a NYMarine medallion on it. The original was smashed up and broken beyond repair.

does nice work. Decent originals hard to find when you need one.
