impressive figures DK from 1.8L ! That's it, as horsepower goes up so does the need for stronger components and gearbox !

I've always been afeared that in the act of chasing horsepower, I might actually catch more horsepower than I know what to do with. Hope your lad's rebuild isn't too fiscally savage.Originally Posted by dave.king1

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
I don't think he will get any change from $10K which is what his current gearbox cost to have built, it's full of titanium and supposedly good for at least 700Kw it's been broken once but this time it's full of metal shavings from the destroyed torque converter, they do share the same oil
Eeeeeeew. They don't like that. RIP Mr. transmission.

Just sent this off to one of my mates to get the artwork sorted
should look good DK, will it be waterslide decal paper or something else ? Hope your not using the Fender logo and you just superimposed your logos ontop for the photo !

Yep, waterslide and definitely no Fender or CS logo its to be a tribute not a ripoff.
If I wanted to do that I would have just bought one from alliexpress and done an upgrade on the electronics, would have been cheaper and finished by now
haha that's it DK. Wouldn't be the same to buy an aliexpress axe, it's much more fun to build a kit than upgrade hardware.
So where is the body up to have you started the finishing ?

I haven't started the starting yet
Actually I tell a lie I have removed the plastic nut
Finally took courage in both hands today and drilled the string through holes and counter bored for the ferrules.
I would like to be able to say I was confident doing this but that would be a lie worthy of a politician
Also went through a sheet of 80 grit on the back and sides and a quarter of a sheet of 240 on the cap.
Top looks pretty good but the sides need a lot more attention, sand, sand, sand and then sand heaps more.
I'm driving up to Brisvegas on Friday to spend a couple of days with my aunt so don't know if there will be any more progress before next week.
