Patio boat deck covering, before and after...
Upholstering. Check out my "Upholstering Process" photo album.
I know it's not a boat or even water-related, but it was a great project and a lot of fun to get running again and has a really neat back-story. The owner had gotten this 1953 Willys Jeep back from another person who had "converted" the electrics from the original 6volt system to 12 volts. All pretty much well and good except that much of the original cloth-covered wire was left, most of which was disintegrating and causing dangerous shorts. We removed all of the old wiring ...and replaced with new, fixed the ignition wiring, added a new ignition switch and voltmeter, repaired a bad piece of frame for the canopy and sent her home with her very happy owner as a gift. You see, two days before the Willow Fire, I picked up this Jeep on my flatbed from the garage where it was kept. That garage burned down in the fire. It was just good luck and maybe a little serendipity that this classic is still with us.
