I thought you'd get a kick out of that Jeff...

I remember that 1960 450 of yours. Glad to hear it's still going strong. Was it a tulip body or cresting wave? And did it have the original wiring loom?

I have a new respect for the 450 thanks to my recent wiring investigations, and one day I hope to find a late 50's one to bring down under.....

Glen,

It's a cresting wave one. I've still got to refinish it so it'll be back to the fireglo instead of it's honey right now, and unfortunately, the loom was long gone.

I remade a harness for it a while back, but might make a more correct one now that I've had practice with the 58 325 replica.It's got a replacement unwound toaster in the neck position with short pole magnets installed(mine had those originally, cause someone tried to shoehorn the original bridge one in the neck position)

I like the tulip bodies as well. I'm thinking of perhaps making a replica at some point of one if I can't find one, just to have around the house and to learn.
