Giving a Bezoat a Second Chance

[Albert]

Shameless sharing now.
Even the part you (hopefully) won’t see looks great.

Dean,
It just needs a little something to make it pop. And it needs a number.
Can someone check to see if 42CE is in use?

Great looking, nice work on skins. I agree needs some colors(s) to pop in correct layout and APBA numbers. You have brand new wood to work with. I did a restore on a 1982 25ss Karelsen pickle hydro, no skin replacements needed but the wood needed color to hide some weathered areas and to pop, saved as much natural as I could. Pics available for ideas.

Can use computer paint software to play with colors and design.

I agree..... no paint.

So the west systems really brings out the grain. Getting harder and harder to want to put paint over this thing.

Wow... with an end result like that.... very little paint.... Great job... Wow again.

Dean,
It will be receiving a minimal painted stripes that will hopefully compliment the boat. We just don't know what colour they will be, or what exactly they will look like just yet.

I can't say enough about how well the boat is coming out. We discussed paint for an hour today. It's going to be a hard call. There will be plenty of exposed wood to show off the beauty of the boat.

Very nice, the cowl is perfect. Nice grain I would do the color design carefully.

Could not have been anymore impressed with the boat or Carruthers workmanship when I went to see the boat today. Outside coats of west systems up next then it’s time to figure out paint.

Big day folks the decks are back on, treated with west systems inside and out.
