    hi guys,

    Started polishing the strat today. 1500 grit, 2000 grit, and some Meguiars Ultimate Compound. More compound and ScratchX tomorrow! There are a few little pin-holes in the clear, but I'm trying to ignore them . My gold hardware and perloid scratchplate arrived from Ads this morning and looks great. I can't see how a cream scratch plate could possibly beat this white!

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Thanks @stan and @wokks - she's coming along! There's too many great builds for April I'm afraid. I might be too afraid to enter!

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Oh Gav my ES may be delayed until next months GOTM as I'm sure the finishing part, a 3/8ths of an inch gold nut, we be held up by Auspost somewhere 😉
