1977 Stars and Stripes Restoration

[quote=TRBenj;892329]I would argue that there are a lot of CC rebuilds because CC's are worth rebuilding!


Or they rot because they held on to wood much longer than they should have

Great to see another classic brought back to life. With production estimated between 350- 500 boats for 1977 model year, every one brought back to life counts. If you have any questions along the way, I would be more than happy to help in any way that I can.

I am working on drawing are for the decals - Need a good picture for the artwork. I'll send you the file that you can take to a local vinyl shop or I can make you a set for picture..my email is mgorczak@mutoh.com - the closer the better the higher resolution from a digital picture the better. I have this image and it's tough because elements are missing. Just started... Good luck on the project... Hope to do one myself in a few years...

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the offer on the decals. Mine currently are in worse shape than your picture, i.e. missing a letter or two. Hopefully cbryan can come through on the decals, if not I read that Jim at BAWS has them. What are you doing converting over in Photoshop or similar?
Take your time it is not like I need them right now--floor and transom, mechanicals first. Then again a decal set would be a nice XMAS present...

Yeah - using photo's as a template then hand tracing. It will take me a couple weeks to tweak the letters. Want to decorate the man cave and don't mind sharin' the art.

Here are some reference photos of I believe the guy said 76'.
