Late 50's WFL restoration

Loading...

Dude! You found a shell! Yes!!!!! Can't wait to see the kit!

Now find me a dang WFL or Ludwig 60's White Marine Pearl 16x16 shell so that I can knock out this WFL project I am working on! Violin

I'll let you know if I see one. The only problem is that it's b/o and not keystone. But thats ok with me. This is a players kit anyway, so as long as it sounds good I'm happy.

I got the correct spurs for the bass drum-- Blairndrums was nice enough to trade me for the 70's set it came with. They cover up the messed holes perfectly, picture coming soon.

Here is the floor tom that I Frankensteined together to go with this kit. I found a SS shell on ebay and a mahogany cortex complete floor tom on CL. Here it is after transplanting the hardware. There is more of a ginger ale tint in person, making it a great match for this kit. For now I don't mind that it's a B/O badge. Hey, at least it matches the snare.

*Side note: I'm selling a 16" B/O mahogany cortex FT shell. Anybody looking for one?

Me! To rewrap. Is that bad?-Ad

Hey, if you buy it you can do whatever you want to it. I would normally disagree with rewrapping unless the wrap is damaged. But it doesn't seem like anyone likes mahogany cortex, so a rewrap may be this shell's only chance to be part of a kit again.

Sorry Adam, it sold after about an hour on ebay. Apparently somebody does like mahogany cortex.

Here it is all together with the semi-correct floor tom. Also, the bass drum now has the correct spurs. Finally done!
