Nice Consolation

Post by chefothefuture »

Well-
I think alot of you remember that auction for a 73 4001
that I missed..
Well, I needed to appease my OCD. So I got this-Image
I actually got used to the see-through peghead.Image
I still don't get why it was done, but it's cool just the same.

Actually I made the mods. The Pups were easy and the 12 saddle bridge I had in a box.
I'm thinking of putting on a plexi nameplate, but can't decide on white or gold.
