Ronnie Van Zant actually appreciated him as a artist. Even wore a NY shirt in a number of pics.
I do need Thunderbirds around...

I agree. I "think" it was kind of a "there, take that" thing after Fender complained about the original G&L headstock looking like fender....
I stole this from a TBer's post.
'72 Plymouth, 318. Light car, decent V8=would light them up while moving. Very quick if you could keep the tires from spinning.
Yes, IIRC "Tonight's The Night" was his fav from Neil. Definitely is one of mine from NY, not to mention "On The Beach".
Since we have different Thunderbird days, can I suggest Tobacco Burst Summer Solstice? Plenty of time for planning, plus it’s the only color I have 
Quick question: is there any way to swap the original black Epiphone pickup covers for chrome covers?
I've not heard that. I've only seen that because of the words of SHA, didn't mean he was a NY hater. I liked Cinnamon Girl and used to play in in a band, other than that I never liked his music or him. I like a lot of the CSN catalogue, but without the Y! I really like the vocals, that's why NY didn't help!
I prefer CSN without Y too and Y on his own. Actually I might prefer Crosby & Nash to CSN, the three albums they made as a duo in the seventies are excellent. The 2006 "reunion" album isn't bad either.

Simple answer: YES
Our Queen will be along with all the info and pics you'll need to make this happen.

Feeling the urge to do some cutting and gluing. 
It is a transparent Bass..It makes me look fat when I play it on stage.I Spot a transparent beast in the backgroundCool birds, even cooler collection

...and if you went all the way around and did it in black, it would more than likely look kind of factory.

NRs are just plain flat
I was 16 and had just gotten my license. My father had a '67 Mercury station wagon with a 390 in it. I took it one day and decided for some reason to floor it down the bottom of a short steep hill with some railroad tracks at the top, at the top it it smashed down right on the top of the railroad tracks and broke a motor mount and the tranny got very hard to shift some some reason. I brought it home and parked it figuring, 'Ah he'll never notice it'. A little while later I saw him go get in the car and then heard "BOBBY!!!" I knew nothing
. I don't think I ever used that car again.

I know but we're talking about altering it to make the headstock bigger... just putting out a design idea.
My dream car would be a big GM car of the '50's or 60's, a 1956 Cadillac Coupe Deville would be among them.

Van Zandt was a GREAT songwriter, his lyrics were very clever, I especially liked the lyrics in Gimme Three Steps.
