Thanks Jonni, It did clean up nice. And youse just need to keep looking! And, it's not SoCal, it's MidCal, near Fresno (attached to really).

I think the Ludwig Standard name was Ruby Strata, but I could very well be wrong...

Oh yeah, kept meaning to tell you. I used to hear a lot about Norman when I was a kid. My dad grew up in Chickasha. Moved to California during the war to work on Liberty Ships, and got drafted. Been there once in the early sixties. I was amazed by the fireflys.

Great job,outrageous wrap,that kit has a serious vibe to it.Those are also my favorite pearl lugs.I had a mid sixties Pearl in blue sky pearl,the chrome had not aged that well but I got the nicotine and various spooge off with windex and buffed them out with auto polishing compound and the wrap came back almost as good as yours,always got compliments on the way the kit looked.Enjoy them.
