I'm doing the exact same project on a Southwind. Good but dirty upholstory and rotten wood. Good luck.

i look at this interior, then, i look at the fiberglass seats and i just cant get away from the O.G looks of it.

I got it all torn down....was gunna head to the home depot to pick up some lumber, but then skip and i got to jibber jabberin on the telie and now they are closed.

as you can see, the wood is demolished.....the foam and vinyl are in great shape. I assumed the backs of the seat buckets were compiled of several small pices of plywood to get the curve....but its one big fiberglass panel formed to a radius. I will probably re-use those since they are in decent shape. just replace all the other wood. there is no fiberglass in this setup other then that...everything is blocked and nailed or screwed together with L brackets. the wood appears to not be treated either.

i will go the same route to rebuilt it with screws/nails, but coat all pieces with resin before assembly....then after assembly, cover all joints with a couple of layers of cloth. this frame will probably outlive the boat when im done with it  

I also got some cool ideas/surprises to add onto this setup....stay tuned.

btw....that interior wasnt tan originally....i found some covered area's that revieled the original color.....it was a white perl. im going to see if i can clean that stuff up and bring back the original colors. 

Wow that wood is rotted! Good job!

damn, and i just bought a black steering wheel  

oh stop it martha stewart....black goes with anything

Wow this brings up a fresh memory for me...mine gets dropped off tomorrow...anyway G/L Brad should be pretty cut and dry

Yes , even pink . 

-beerjet-

HAHAHA....you found one! I told kyle to find one for me, but he never got back to me...found a few on ebay as well.

anyways....heres some small progress on the seats...it was very hard to get the patterns traced and figured out because everytime i picked up a piece of wood or seperated it from another piece, it just fell apart.

the hard part is done....now i just mirror the patterns for the other side then start glassin

Slow down, your starting to show me up!

dont worry, this will be done by the weekend.

ya ya whatever!

do you expedite every project you do? Considering how well crazy 8's turned out, I'd like to see what you cuold do if you slowed down a bit.
