Nice Jeff that gloss looks miles deep.

Jeff,

The shells are just drop dead gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing the assembled kit. Are you really going to beat on them with sticks ?!

(just kidding)

Thanks again fellas! Yes I am going to beat on them, not sure if they are for sale anymore though, ha ha ha.

I did get a badge installed with carpet tape but no grommet yet because I need a tool to do that. I also got some of the shinny chrome lugs on and wow!

As mentioned I used some carpet tape on the back of the badge, with any luck this will keep the pointy ends down tight. Seems to hold very good and is real easy, no glue mess to deal with. Now I just need to figure out how Im gonna install the grommets.

Edit, I forgot to mention that I had to clean off what looked like contact cement from the back of the badges. I used lacquer thinner for this. But I also had adhesive on the front of the badge and I can tell you that the lacquer thinner did not remove any of the original paint from the front side of the badge, in fact it cleaned it up real nice. Who ever installed them before sure was a messy guy!

Jeff, KILLER JOB MAN ! I love them! Bowing Bowing Bowing. So nice! I can`t say enough. Can`t wait to see them with the hardware installed.

Jeff, ya got two different badges there. Don`t do those yet.

I love that birch strip in bass drum hoops. Great, classy detail.

You have a good eye! Why not do them?
