hello all, here is where i'm at on my 1959 6 lug lugwig. Please keep in mind this is my first attemt , and am not going by any rules. When the drum came to me it looked like some one brushed poly over it, so I stripped it to bare mahogany and rubbed 5 coats of tung oil on it. cleaned the hardware best I could, and added new nut & bolts. Still need six more tension rods (2 3/4" over all length if any body has for sale?) I also would like to throw a few questions out in hopes for some advise. Being a 59" what should I look for...
I need a set of snairs, and a set of skins. Any advise on what to look for to try and keep this thing as close to 1959 as possible. Or should I just use whatever to get this thing done? Appreciated, GRW
