Yes I told Lee I had it when I picked up the Sutphen Gran Sport. I got it ripped apart for a full resto too. Hope to be done with both by spring. And were looking for more if there out there?16-Missile-Brochure-p4.jpg

Hi Jerry, Yep that is the one that Mark and I went and looked at a couple years ago. Do you plan on reinstalling the wood deck insert? or just glassing it over?
I had a 1969 Missile that I sold to a Donzi.net member here about 10yrs ago, they are cool boats for sure. I also have a couple of projects in the works, the one that you saw the day we met up for the rest of the Sutphen parts and also I picked up a 26' Corsa about 2 months ago. Post a couple of pictures on the progress on the Sutphen when you get a chance.
