Re: AlumaCraft Alpex restoration... maybe. :D

Hey, great boat. The post awhile back of the reference boat is mine. It actually the Maracibo. Please see the attached spec sheet for this family of boats. I have also attached a few more photos of mine (well use to be mine). I acutally sold mine in the spring and upgraded to the Queen Merrie. Let me know if you have any questions, mine was completly original.

So here are a few pictures. I think it has potential. I've already started thinking about colors and finishes. I'm thinking about going patriotic with it -- red, white, and blue (think Evil Knieval, Wonder Woman, AMC AMX, etc.). Maybe even some white stars on a blue field. All of the pitted chrome I'll probably brush off with a wire wheel and powder coat (white?). The aluminum trim I'll actually buff to a high shine and ceramic coat it (clear coat) to protect it from the elements. The interior side wood (and rear) I'll replace with a laminated plywood, and I'll stain and poly it -- instead of re-wrapping it with that plastic/vinyl. The dash will also be painted. Just some ideas right now...

I think I have enough wood / material from the seats to duplicate them. My grandparents are retired from the re-upholstry business, and I might tap grandma to make new seat covers. They're in their 80s, but still very active. I'd like to make a couple jump seats for the rear also -- I have four little girls, so it would be nice if we could go out as a family.

I am needing to completely rebuild the back seat of my 67. It had nothing when I started. I sure could use your patterns, you were able to make. Thanks for any help.
