1998 concourse "LAND SHARK" photos

Post by Flame »

Well, pretty much finishing up my restoration of my 1998 Concourse with only 40,000 miles. It is gray and white and we always called her "LAND SHARK" so it only seemed fitting that we finish up with this spare tire cover!! Purchased the cover and had my daughter make me the vinyl letters. I just finished getting the spacing right and installing them. That was a nervous job. You only get one shot at getting it right. Seems like I measured everything 100 times!! What do ya'll think??

Classic! And you did a great job on the letters. I wouldn't have guessed you added them after the design.

(Only thing I'd do is rotate the entire cover slightly counter-clockwise so that the "L" and the "K" are on the same level -- but maybe that's a trick of the photo.)

I could rotate it a little but I wanted the shark to be straight up and down. I had few options and still make everything fit with the 2 and 1/2 inch letters I wanted. Glad you like it buddy.

How old is your photo?!? I said this because your Land Shark looks like you just pick it up from Yakima brand new twenty years ago! :D

Thank you sir. That photo was taken only 3 days ago!! As stated...just hit 40,000 miles. Generator has 97 hours on it. What's that ? 4 full days running?? We were so blessed to find one in this good of shape with those miles. Heading to Galveston Island Sunday morning and will be fishing 3-4 days. Just couldn't go without getting the Land Shark tire cover finished. Wouldn't be right!!
