I know some of you have followed my earlier posts. I have dang near finished it. For those who haven't, its 1958 lonestar semi V 1468. The motor is a 1950 Wizard 6hp super twin. Bought it last year with the trailer for $250. Have sealed all the seams and rivits with G-flex, then did gluvit on the inside and steelflex on the outside. The motor was found sitting in my grandpa's barn. It's now in my garage being rebuilt. Still need to finish the gunnels, paint touch up, finish the transom and finish motor. Not sure why all the photos uploaded in reverse order.

That's real nice man.... Do you find that those led lights are too bright at night? I've read where some day you can't see anything else with them on at night

I haven't used them yet at night but just in my garage I'm thinking they might be. Ive also got red ones just in-case and set them up on quick connect plugs so I can change them out easy if I need to, even have amber ones if the red is to low. Utilizing old L.E.D. lights I had on my previous truck for responding. But I don't do that anymore so all the lights were just sitting in a box in the garage.

It's always nice to see a young family enjoying the water. It's also nice to see an Old Lone Star being brought back to life. :D Looking good! Keep up the great work, and, thanks for sharing. :D
