I plead GUILTY! I absolutely will NOT give up sex, drugs OR rock and roll, especially the sex part. While I'm not at liberty to discuss exactly how I did it (BTW, the original lining was really straight and crisp), I did not use a striping brush with a cigarette dangling from my lips. Thanks for all of the great comments. Cheers, and Happy New Year! Keith

Keith: I accuse you of over-restoration. :-)

How do you plead to doing perfect boxwork, beyond anything I ever remember seeing on a Taylor? Will you tell us how you did it? Freehand after giving up sex, drugs, and beer for six months to steady the hand?* Selling your soul to the Mephistopheles for a magic machine? Really lovely!

Said he had to stop for weeks before doing a round of the procedures. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Joe Bender-Zanoni wrote: As to working on tandems, you naturally thinks it is a single bike times

1.5 in terms of time. More like 5 times in my experience. That frame restoration is what the Taylor brothers would have liked to do if they didn't need to earn a living! Gorgeous. ++++++++++++++++++ Keith Anderson wrote: Here's one of 2 that I am currently working on.
