The heel. The hub cap is intact, sitting on the drum under string pressure, no cutting needed

The neck is built up to the correct height to match the dome on the hub cap

Hey T-Gripped, did you get started on your hubcap guitar, do you need more info?

Taffy--Thanx for checking in!! I have not yet attempted any construction... still cogitating. The neck-build-up pix that Michael Fred Johnson posted are helpful.

I am not really wanting to build a separate drum however. And I'm still a bit fuzzy on how to attach the hubcap to the neck. 

Currently planning to mount a single coil pup to the neck.

Hi T-Gripped

If you dont want to make a drum just replace it with a thick ply disc.

For mounting the pickup you could just add a recessed block to the neck like on Yorrick here.

Hi T-G, just posted the first of a series of build photos that may give you some ideas to use, now or in the future.
Cheers Taff
