I have this shot too:
Marty McFly's Skateboard - Valterra Splatter Deck Conversion
- Thread starter TheRealMcFly
- Start date
To be honest, I'm really proud of my board, I made a side to side montage, and it's actually a close match to me! Even though I based mine on screenshots! My logo was higher than the screen used board, so couldn't do better than this I think. I believe these were screen printed, so they are never at the same place. But yeah, quite happy about this haha x)

Would anyone be able to measure the dimensions of the board? Width height and length?
You should be extremely proud of your board. It's absolutely beautiful, and I can't believe it is homemade :love
Not entirely, as it's an original Valterra, but yeah a lot of work had been going toward it hehe
Thanks Diana ^^yankyfan09 I can measure mine if you want, but the bottom of the board seems slightly wider than it appears on the screen used.

Yours looks great. I would really appreciate if you would be able to measure yours

As I can see from dozens of pictures, the screen used board is 29" x 9.5".
Good job !!!
Did you perhaps use the graphics I did some time ago ?
Nope, it's an original Valterra, I've hidden the double effect splatters on the back, and a friend helped me to repaint the splatters in magenta. There are several layers for achieving this effect. Therealmclfy helped me to acquire a few stickers, the coppers and the fly madrid wheels. And I filled the extra holes from the side bars, sanded it down, remounted it and added a new grip.
It originally looked like this:

Nice work with restoring the board !!!!!!!
Thanks
I don't think you made the entire graphics, I remember asking about the stickers though. But I ended up finding vintage ones Soxbrother

Thanks
Vintage ones, sweet !!!
The color was not right anyway.
But in the same thread I fixed the color for Mitastouch
For those interested here it is

Probably not as clean looking as anyone would like,
but considering the source material it was the best I could do.
One day maybe a Valterra board for me,
who knows ?
Don't have $300 laying around for the moment :lol

Here are the measurements of my board:
73.2cm height
24.5cm wide (in the middle > widest point)
1 cm deep

So I was pretty good with my calculations.
29" = 73.66 cm
9.5" = 24.13 cm
Could the depth of your board be 1.27 cm? That would be exactly half an inch.

Thank you both for the help.

So basically, if you find a board with the same dimensions,
you just apply the stickers and paint and you have a Valterra board ?

I see 1 cm on mine, depends on the thickness of your grip I guess.

So, I spent some time at Madrid this afternoon and confirmed again with Jerry Madrid that the original trucks on the screen used boards were Tracker. We also may have found a flat-bottomed coper solution. And, I picked up a stack of coper stickers which I'll work out shipping with those of you who already have flat-bottomed copers.

Thank you very much for your efforts.
I haven't had any contact about my orders. Would you be able to look into mine?

The front of the board,
is that one piece of grip-tape with a madrid/Valterra graphics on top,
or is it 1 piece of grip-tape, then the graphics and then another grip-tape ?
And would this madrid deck :
Madrid Explosion 1983 Re-Issue Deck
9.75x30 - White
http://socalskateshop.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=43505
be a good one ?
The size is a bit larger (9.75x30)
than the one from Emma (9.5 x 29)
Maybe there exists another blank deck with the exact size ?
