Love the outfits!

Reminiscent of the greatest of all Xmas movies.

From time to time the "Beer Bunny" makes a stop at the local garage we've patronized for nearly 20 years now. It's time for the bunny suit: pink or blue, slightly dirty and stained, needs to hang off my decidedly ectomorphic frame like a floppy hat on the end of a broomstick.
I'm keeping a weather-eye out for one. Timing is now because my poor old 2002 Chevy S-10 is getting a new engine, just as soon as we can find one. I need to throw down some inspiration.

Great stage wear.

Don't try to catch up, just step on the bus and roll forward! That's the most fun way to be a part of it. If someone thinks you missed something they'll link you up.

Carlo, you have this certain "something" about the way your instruments present themselves, that really speaks to me. I get this feeling that you have a fairly thorough idea of what a finished piece is going to look like, before the saw first hits the wood. Every feature works with every other feature to create a "flow"...

Thanks, glad you like it!

I started building that body around 2012, made the body blank from 2x4s back when I was doing that. It's been through many mods. At one time it had a (four) string thru bridge and it's had at least five necks mounted. The Twelver neck has been on it less than a week, I recut the neck pocket to fit it Sunday after sorting out the new bridge and tailpiece. So yes, it's EXACTLY like I planned it six years ago.:)

A bit late to the table, and certainly OT but I’d just note that it was a great week for Aussie motor sport.
Dan Ricciardo won the Monte Carlo GP and the man with the great name - Will Power - won the Indy 500.

As Power was coming across the finish line my first thought was Kat and Vee are gonna be proud!
It was a great race, still not sure why the two leaders in front of Power pitted on the final lap but Power ran an awesome race! Australia, the only place outside of the United States I'd ever consider living, great country, great people!

Cheers G, great effort & perseverance by Will to become the first Aussie to win the Indy. Many well credentialed drivers - Brabham included - have tried before him but he is the first. No one can take that from him.

Speaking of Brabham, another group are trying to resurrect the name for race car manufacturing at the moment. I wish them well, and hope they do the name justice.
