I think wood is wood, and if it's already "roughed out" it sounds like a good start to me! Plus, that guy needs some changes. :) Oh - be extra careful with sanding, if they put a finish on them, it could be something you don't want to breathe once you've sanded it off. |

Hey, it's just like buying old pantings at the Salvation Army for the canvas and painting over them. Wood is wood, as long as it's not an authentic, ancient, artifact........and that's not. |

Hey Billytc, I don't see why you can't add to a piece you've bopught, especially a piece that was mass produced for a quick buck. Add too it, change it but remember in the end you can't take full credit for it as it will always be a joint operation. Better to use it for a template and change it to your liking as an addition to the original. That way anything you do to it can be considered all yours with theirs as a starting point. At least you can feel good bout it. |

You would actually be liberating them. Fear not, you would be instilling mojo |

I agree, make it yours. When I was a teen I owned a '66 Dodge. I looooved that car, but I hated the old radio. So I ripped it out and put in my own tape deck and speakers. My Dad just about shit his pants when he found out what I did. But I liked it so much better! I kick myself twice each day for selling that car. |

Hey thanks everybody, I really appreciate the feedback. Mieko, thanks for the reminder about the possible dangers from sanding the old finish. Benz, Hope ya don't mind, but I'm going to have a few questions for ya. Fink, my old teenage ride that I kick myself over was a 70 & 1/2 Z28. Bad to tha bone. |
