Nice work. Did you do much on the inside?

Steven te quedaron nuevas, they came out new. I am glad the end result is an A++++ . I say new because you have applied new materials . Bro I never told you I owned 3 of those babys, around 1988. That quinto was smoking, even my friend Gumby praised that quinto. At that time I also has my Gon bops... things got tough and they where sold to a boricua bro. ( Moises ) I will look for some old pics. Glad to have contributed somehow and prove wrong all of the skeptics. I know it was pain staking, but now you are licking your chops; disfrutalas.

Hello guys,

Steven, congratulation for this work, the result is realy wonderfull !!! you have done it !!!, and thanks for the photos and explain.
Do you know how much time and how much money you have spend to do this repair ?
And about the sound, is it something new due to the epoxy resin ?

Cheers,
Galou.
