Looking good, Bill. Agreed, better gold than another red one.

He wanted to age the wood a little more.  :)

There's nothing like old wood IMHO!    :P

Thanks for all of the kind words.  I'm very pleased with how It turned out.  I'm hoping I can work on it today.  I may have had my last chemo for awhile.  We'll see how the CT scan goes next week.

Been working on wiring.  What a pain!  My wiring channels are too small for all of the wires I'm trying to cram through them.   Didn't see that coming with the switches and extra vol control.  Duh.    So I'm redrilling all of the channels which is difficult on a painted body.  Have to be so careful!  Maybe some progress will be made tomorrow.   :-\

Everything's all wired and it's such a pain to redo every solder point.  I'm just drilling my way to success! I'm down to one channel left to enlarge, so I'm almost finished.  It's about 3/4ths the way complete.  In the future I'll be more thoughtful if I have a bunch of extra wiring to run.  Unlikely though since I'm not big on switches and extra controls.  I was just trying to stay true to the original BillyBo set up.   :P

Good one Dave!  I just don't want Kenny to be the only target of ridicule for his ability to procrastinate!
