Vintage Evolution Skateboards

Stock pics of the board before work.

Bottom

The graphics are mostly in good shape but it does have some drying cracks in the paint towards the bottom of the board.

Top

Bottom

The top graphics are intact but are getting a little thin from being used. The red paint is also a lot more cracked from its age. And as I pull off the grip-tape we should see more graphics. I also see some stress cracking around the top truck mounting holes. It also has the original sex bolts that will be re-used.

Side view pics before work.

Left side

Right side

This side is in good shape but it is starting to have some ply separation happening.

Right side

This side is in good shape but the ply separation is a little worse.

Right tail

The tail has minimal razor tail. It does have a good chip off the back and you can see the damage of ply separation that will only get worse if not fixed.

Right nose

Right tail

The nose has hit a curb and needs to be fixed. There is slight cracking but it is all there, this will be an easy fix.

Being refurbished with friends watching

Vintage GSD skateboards

This will be a great build as it is part of my collection. I had the same as the left 2 as a kid. My first refurbish was back in 9th grade in Milton VT. I had the EYE board and I took it to my schools wood working shop as a project. I cleaned it up and it still had good graphics. I put it together and skated it for about 3 weeks before it cracked in half at its weakest point, the back truck. I believe this was my first board I refurbished and it was back in 1985-86, WOW I guess I've been doing this awhile.

It just took me about 40 years to get good at it!!!
