Perhaps the all red interior, chrome tailgate strips, blacked out front indicators and whited out rear indicators were an attempt to make it look more like a '57 Chev? Works for me.

Retro,
Both guitars were bought in the last 16 months or so. I hope they're new. :shock:
and yes, I like black curvy shiny things.......
By the way, love that FB.

If anyone can photoshop a "Special" badge onto the black guitar, I'd love to see how it looks!!

Andrew.

White walls have arrived!

Hi all.
Just a pic of the barge now that I've had flappers fitted. I'm staying with the cross-ply tyres for now. Might do the radials thing one day on another set of rims.

Guys, your advice was spot on. Got the cantilever arms pointing the right way and not much tension needed at all on the springs.

Yep, sounds like I've let the cantilever arms drop on installation. Didn't really have an initial reference because everything was just hanging there with some wire wrapped around it when I got her, hence the "NASCO" broomstick was employed...
I'll have another dip and report on progress.
Thanks ...
