Telecaster master, huh? Always dug that high lonesome sound. Been a Setzer fan since 1979, though he likes the hollow body.

Oh, and speaking of hollow bodies, your car project looks built for speed! Here's to hoping nobody gonna call that hot rod tame!

Hi, Jay, I look forward to follow along, on this build. I get the feeling something really unique is heading our way. Love the hand fab parts, love to learn from the guys with these skills. What kind of flaring tool did you use on the trans access cover. Please keep posting. Cheers Tom

Jay...nice project, looing forward to more updates. I love the "save them from the crusher" type projects!

Those look like dimple die parts.
We use them on our foot and pedal boards.


Cool project.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I will get a few more pics up shortly..


Tom- I used a tool called a dimple die. It's super easy to use. I have to keep myself from using it on everything!

They make dimple and cutting dies that work real well for short money.

Wow Stu Thompson I remember him the redline pro,pk ripper,cook bros, brings back a lot of memories. I'm guessing you must be 40 something.
