Vintage restoration & repair 50's & up

**GriffinSk8** · 09-09-2009 10:15 AM

Restoration & Repair 50's & up. . After doing this for so long I have made up my mind to offer my services to you to save a few old boards and bring them back to life. After starting Vintage 50's and up page. I wanted to just help people. I hope I have sent the right idea to you to hold on to the old school decks and completes. No matter how banged up or thrashed they are. I have helped out just a hand full of people but now I want to make this happen for more. In my mind the most worthless piece of junk is worth fixing. I have the parts list on the vintage page. That will be where I will show you the boards that you send for me to fix. It might cost a little more to fix the old boards but it will be worth it later on. There are some boards that I like to call well loved that means that the complete board is not worth fixing and is just a wall hanger. This counts for most steel wheel boards where the old wheels are falling off. It's better to leave the board as original. They're worth more this way. It might take sometime to find some parts, hardware, bushings, king pins, pivot cups, axles, loose ball bearings, wheels and so on. It's hard to find some parts that will match the board's parts.

If you want my help please take pic's that you can see

and either post them on this page or PM me.
Shipping in both directions and parts and labor is what I am charging to fix your boards Thank You

This one came from a person who is in the skateboard industry and sell a lot of skateboards.
He is trying to fix up old boards all the time but never puts the board back together right.
I got a hold of it and this is how it should be.

Got this board on a vary bad trade here on the fish.
I will never NEVER do that again!!
The whole board looked like it was left in a lake for 30 year's of it's life.
Run over by a car at one time.
The trucks where so badly corroded and rusty on the hangers.
Wheels where stuck to the axles
One base plate hole was snapped.
One wheel had been cut with a hack saw.
Missing the stock bushings and king pins.
The only reason I did the trade was I had a old set of the same
match set trucks that where complete.
It has taken hours of work to get it to this condition.
Had to buy some extra parts on E-Bay to get the other three wheels
on it and I am missing one bearing roller ring to get it complete.
I will fix the fiber glass to just to see If I can get to look better then It did.

For got to mention the paint that had to be removed.
The top you can see the fiber glass patching that will need to be done.

I have a old 70's Hang Ten Sport Board with ball bearing wheels but the wheels were shredded so I had to throw em away. I need a new bolt just like the one in the picture and I saw on a forum it looked like you had a ton. Would you by any chance sell one of em? I have one that in good condition but the others bent. The bolts I have are 4 and 7/16 X a quarter inch. If you have some or can point me in the direction of some, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
