Sherwood Jazz Project

If you're interested, check the link for some new pics of my project. It's not finished yet, but it is looking very good. I still have to shoot a couple of more lacquer coats before I can buff and not burn into the color coat.

Wow, that's a pretty site. Where did you get the body? Is it a Warmoth? I really like the look--the other JM clone is nice as well.

I wish I had the nerve to start a clone project.

Yea...yer all right. ; ) That color combo is just it.  This is body number one of the newest version of USA CG.  Can't wait to get it running. I've started mounting the hardware. That gold guard is requiring some widening of the pup cover openings, it's a bit too small.

Supafly.  How was the Sherwood green to spray?  I'm scared of metallics.

Frankly, it was a byotch. Any little impefections in the prep show..anything. There are a few little spots that are off, but most folks wouldn't see them. I do. : )

The color coat is Dupont Chromabase. The clear coat is Stew-Mac's in quart size I shoot with a gun.
