Great work, so painstaking!
Not bad at all. This one is on my list too...one day.
There are a few copies out there, but this is definitely one of the better ones I have seen.
good effort Trevor, looks very time consuming all the paint tape etc. I didn't realise the frankenstien was modelled on a strat shape. See if you can remove alot of photos are duplicated in your posts and makes the page longer than it has to be
Great work Trevor. Hope you don't mind that I cleaned up your thread a little to make it easier to follow.

Hey Trevor,
Just moved your thread to this section as this is a better place for it :)
Have you been scouring roadsides for the old truck reflectors to go on the back?
Thanks guys for the replies - and Fretworn - the reflectors are hardest to find !! Still having trouble finding them ... And thank you for cleaning up my posts , I wasn't sure how to post more than 3 photos .

Are you wanting your user name to remain as your entire e-mail address. Adam could get that changed if you want?
That would be great if he could - Something Van Halen-ish probaly
Cheers
Come up with the username you want and then send Adam an email

5150. Or OU812. :D
My vote is for the latter! :)
ou812
Great attention to detail Trev, looks awesome
The reflectors are the only things I need Fretworn - people are asking around $60 -$75 for replicas on ebay !! might have to bite the bullet and buy just to keep it as close as possible.
Don't you have freeway nearby that you can spend an afternoon hiking up and down? Fender claim that the reflectors on the back of their ridiculously expensive copies are sourced from California freeways.
