Follow the full rebuild of a 1957 Lone Star Cruise Liner from the day it was pulled from storage to the first launch. You’ll see every step including foam removal, hull repairs, transom work, welding, priming, painting, interior redesign, and engine setup. I document the process to help you plan your own restoration and show what it takes to bring an old aluminum cruiser back to life. If you like classic boats, fabrication, or detailed project walk-throughs, you’ll find useful ideas here.
