That's one of my pics. That is Billy B's paint shop. The black boat was in for touch up, it was painted by sweed. The other 2 Billy painted.

This is the middle boat. It ran 117 with a single 4 bbl 427 before it was painted. The secret is it's a Barron sprint bottom with a patterson deck.

Post by: wizard612 on August 25, 2008, 05:56:22 PM: SWTD 80, We raced a Hondo Pantera had the prettiest paint on the planet. Candy red over gold belt-line stripe and deck with blue 1/4" surround. It had airbrushed scalloped detail on the deck and variegated gold pin striping and lettering / numbers all over a gold pearl over white base. Yea it was old school but it still would look good today.

Thats some good looking mahogany right there. I talk a guy named Harlan Orrin a couple of weeks ago that restores old wood deck boats. He uses 1/4 venners for the decks. Just to give you a little history on the guy. In 1965 he held the record at 126 mph in a v drive hydro looking boat. He also work at Sanger in the 70's and designed the 20' double bubble daycruiser and cut up the shovel nose hydro to make it a pickle fork and get rid of the lift. I believe he said he worked on the Hallett Vector, one of my favorite hulls. Tige' ski boats was another one he built molds for.Up until recently did a bunch of plugs/molds for Commander. One of his wood deckers was on display at the Long Beach races a few weeks ago.

Post by: wizard612 on September 10, 2008, 09:35:19 PM: I'm trying to get the home computer working so beside showing a great retro paint job I'm seeing if the box @ home is working ok. The Boat is Excalibur, Craig Millet's second Rogers, an 18' Bubble Deck Cyclone. The scheme was typical of the time but the detail and multi dart details were much more complicated than typical.

Post by: 76 Bonneville on September 10, 2008, 09:50:26 PM: Hey Wizard what year was that Rogers.
Here are the before and after pics of mine. As you can see it had the much simplified dart on the deck.

God, I love this boat....it looks like a Orange Cream-sicle! ;D
Title: Re: Let's see some wild paint! Retro too!
Post by: wizard612 on September 11, 2008, 09:31:21 AM: Excalibur must have been around 1974-75. Ken Myers at B&K Boat repair did the cap and the paint. Another guy named Tom did the lettering and numbers out of Bellflower.
