We have an NHRA approved drag-race simulator installed on Carol's computer.
With simulator sound turned on, our reaction times are within about .010 of
each other.

Just remember to let Carol drive and there is a chance for the 9.5 run. It
might take you closer to 12 seconds...

Taking the Vette to Los Vegas Raceways tomorrow for some tuning and
testing
on my new motor.
If it doesn't run 9.50 you will see it on EBay.

Maybe you guys can help me out.
I have sitting in the closet a 1964 Fender Sunburst Strat. I bought it in
1966 along with a Fender Duel Showman Amp for $700.00.
The guitar has been fitted with "Hum bucker pickups, Shailer tuning pegs
and a Bicsby Bad-ass bridge. All of this work was done in the early 70's
and
I still have all of the original parts.
1. What is this ax worth?
2. Is it worth me refitting it with the original parts?
3. Is this something that an old burned out hot-rodder can do?
I was offered $10,000.00 for the guitar and amp, is this close?
BTW.
The other night I took it down to the shop and put my straight edge on the
neck and it is still within .005 of absolutely flat.
The guitar hasn't seen strings since Elvis died.
I look foreword to your comments.
Larry

Nice, I played one of the nobody Steinberger and it was pretty neat. I
also have a Fender American Jazz and a U.S Masters which is made in
Wisconsin. I figured if I could get what I wanted, then I'd be happy.
The only other bass I'd love to have is a good fretless. I tried a
couple, but just haven't found the one I want. I wanted to take a bass
and convert it to fretless, but I decided I wasn't going to do the job
well enough. Of course I'm not quite good enough yet in my opinion to
really play a fretless and sound good at it. grin
I do love playing and maybe one day I'll even consider making a bass.
That would be fun, but of course I haven't the equipment to do that
task and you'd need some good tools to pull that off. Well pull it off
and end up with a playable instrument.
