    removing outer aluminum trim from windshield

    Woo hoo! Got the trim off in about 20 minutes! I thought of S.D.’s reply and after a day or so of making up things to try, I wound up using utility blades! The ones that you can turn 180° to get another “life” out of the blade. Tapped one in on each side of the plexiglass where the clips are...

    removing outer aluminum trim from windshield

    Hi all, I'm trying to remove the upper/outer trim from the plexiglass windshield of the 1963 Starcraft Starmist. I managed to get only ONE of the 6-8 or so clips to release. It's brutal! I tried to make a tool to get it done, but gave up after an hour or so. Is there a trick to do this? A...

    In need of pics/info on 1963 Starcrat seats

    This boat had nothing in it. Now at the stage of putting seats in. Does anyone have pics of what the seats looked like on this 1963 Starcraft Starmist? Plans maybe? Only have 16” from floor to bottom of dash/console, so it obviously can’t have a tall base (if any). Several pics would be...
