I just want to take a minute to say thanks for the responses and encouragement. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience in this club and I really appreciate it.
I think for now I am going to clean this baby up the best I can for the holiday weekend. I'll break it down and repaint and really get down to the nitty gritty this summer.
I do want to get new handles for this and my small army of blackies.
Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I may be able to get a black ash pan for this rig? I've seen it on a few red performers and love the look.
Thanks again.
