Winter project. 1979 260 sundancer.

[SEARAYGARY]

Taking all the monkey hair off of the top, and taking the carpet off of the walls and floors, have found that it is pretty good sound conditionl. I have found no rot at all, i would like some pictures of your recondition interior to get some ideas if possible. Has anyone tried to paint the paneled walls, if so, what did you do to get them ready. Also what kind of glue is good for marine projects. All help would appreciated

I'm in the process of restoring a '79 Sundancer and am going through the same process of removing the fleece from the walls, etc.

I haven't tried to paint the wall panels... mine are in good shape. The fleece was a bit of a pain to remove. Can't decide what I'm going to do for headliner or flooring yet.

Be careful removing the fleece tho... I found some wiring was ran along the ceiling behind the fleece.

Hi, I will be painting the paneling in my salon also. I am filling all the black grooves in my paneling by grinding grooves and filling with polyester filler, sanding smooth and applying polyester primer, sanding and painting with white acrylic urethane. I will keep you informed with progress. Im about 2-3 wks away from doing that. I have to finish my floors first next will be carbon fiber counter top and the shelf along the dinet will also be carbon fiber. I will be posting pics as I go.

I really did not have any problem removing the monkey hair or the fleece. My problem is going to be on the wood is to remember where everything goes. When i take it down i best mark it there are a lot of it that need to be redone. I would like some feedback on how the paint turned out.

I am on stand by at the present time on my project, i am redoing my garage and will devote a lot of my time on it over the next few weeks and then i guess i will tackle the boat next. So many things to do....so little time. Keep the feed back coming.
