Thanks for the kind words everybody. Yes, the bike is a '47 Indian Chief that I'm restoring in my spare time for a customer. The car under the sheet is a Stanley Steamer, but I'm not sure of the year or model and don't want to give incorrect info, so I'll get the specifics and update. My father's main business is antique car restoration, mostly early steam cars, but that one's a personal project. You'll also see bits of another Stanley (a "mountain wagon", the steam car version of a bus) in some pics. And maybe we'll sneak some other items in the background of some upcoming guitar pics.

We can't take credit for the idea of the suspension jig. I saw someone else's build thread where they were finishing the body of their guitar and had it suspended via what looked like a clothes hanger through a pot hole in the face. We figured, why not do that with the whole guitar? I didn't have any input into the hanger design, though. That was entirely my old man's work. And I think he did a good job. The cotter pin in the top is a VERY good idea.
