Title: 78 Eliminator Update
Post by: stc315 on August 12, 2010, 12:18:19 PM

Here are a few pics so far. Still quite a bit to go. Got to rebuild carb and I'm thinking I need to replace the steering and fwd/rev cables. Theyre pretty cracked up and the steering will leak like crazy.

Looking at finances, we have pretty much written off getting her done before summer is over. Sooooo now thinking seriously about painting her. Got four color schemes and can't decide which way to go yet.
1 Candy Apple Green with Orange true flames on deck
2 Candy Plum Purple with Orange true flames on deck
3 Candy Blue with Orange true flames on deck
4 Candy Black Cherry with Orange true flames on deck

Anyway, found out I can have boat sanded and primered (maybe even base color sprayed?) at work for cost of materials only. Also have them strip and paint the trailer. Then get my local guy to shoot color and flames.

I've always liked the blue/orange combo  ;D

Me too, but I saw a car done in the Red Orange combo that looked bitchin and my wife's golf cart is purple orange combo.  :banghead: The name of the boat is "Asmodeus" which is the demon of lust. So I'm kinda leaning towards red or purple.
