I tend to agree with you here, even pro's skating vert at mount trashmore seemed to always ride some crazy color of gullwings, remember seeing a lot of pink gullwings. Indy and Tracker ruled street it seemed. Just an opinion though..I'm trying to think back to 85-86.
I too hope you find your old model dude. Hang in there. |

My first REAL trucks were red Gullwings. They had shape, style, and looked cool as fuck.
Good luck on your board hunt. I will have to go back and look over to see what you're looking for. |

Just to help/hurt your head some more, it takes time to rebuild it exactly or even just close. My story is similar and completely different. About eleven years ago, I heard of this thing called Ebay on the radio as I was driving to work. At the time I had a great job and had a small private office. I was bored and decided to go on Ebay. Started typing random things in and somehow I came across a few old skateboards. I threw a few odd bids and started winning decks I had always wanted or had never seen. I went to my parents house to my old room and found my first pro deck, 1988 Vision Jinx mini. I no longer had any of the parts, so first step was locating all new parts.
Started out with this:
Then after about five years and a lot of help from members here, I was here:
Then I decided that the trucks were too "new" looking and found a few more items:
Earlier this year a member here and a former member told me about a black dip mini in the UK:
The colors were wrong, but I had to have it. The blue is too dark and none of the colors match what I had on my first one.
Then Cdog sent me a pm about this one:
Which looks like this but with the trucks and wheels off the one I bought from the UK, now:
The only difference on the bottom is the Vision. Mine was a green to Yellow fade, where this one is orange/yellow. Same problem on the top.
OG pic of the tops of my first two set ups:
In these two horrible pics you can see my third set up(and how lame I was/am) a pink LM Crest:
Here are my first real set up and three clones:
Long boring post, but it can show how long and hard it can be to find all the little parts. I didn't even cover stickers:
