I wanted it to be a marble fireglo finish.
No, I don't play the sax.

"I prefer using Shitzu, which is of course a dog"

If one were to breed a Shitzu with a Poodle, what would you call it?

Shitpoo?

"Speaking of where you work, and not that the service would be offered to the public, but was all that route repair and refinishing done by in-house talent? What a great after-hours 'government' project!"

Nope, work done by Dale Fortune of Portland. Re-fin by Eric @ RIC.

"I bet it does and I guess that we can expect to see it on a 2008 RickResource calendar."

Not unless I get a complimentary copy of the calendar, which I have yet to from when my 331 was in it! I think it's a fair trade.

I should explain here in public that when I said "Wish we could have made the back lighter," I meant that I wish there hadn't been the damage to the front, necessitating the darker color. Hi Eric!

So were any other colors tossed around before you settled on this one?

Yeah, but I wanted to try a trans one so the back would show; otherwise I might have gone with MID or the same green but solid.

Now that is EXACTLY the green I was envisioning on another thread. Yessir.

Rickenbacker could sell that color...

It is available on the 4004cii, albeit a bit lighter shade.

Hey, that's Silly String Green, right?

Yeah, I have to say that I prefer the darker shade of the 4005 to the lighter 4004 trans green.
