Nice work Matt.
lemme know when that day comes and I'll drink with ya, from afar.
I don't know what the world may want,
But a good stiff drink it surely dont,
Think I'll go and fix myself...a tall one.

I really like how you incorp. the bowchock on your nicely done pulpit... looks right. Much better than a bolt on pulpit w/ the chock on it.
Also how you took the 'v' chevron shape and used it on the vents. That took cajonés, but I think it's pretty slick, definatley unique. It's kinda like an old Buick, but actually functional. UV'll call her a 6-hole Bertram. Also have a shark gill look to em..paint the inside of the boxes red and she'll look like a bigol' shark.
Keep us posted on progress... cool refit.

Can't wait to see the finished pics! That Gill Plate Intake is looking real slick, nice distinguishing feature.
