Thanks! 'UJ & Gary, hint taken and it will remain a "Backless" little number.

Thanks! 'Monterey'!, does that RR stand for what I think it does "Rolls Royce"????

Thanks! for the kind words 'Bluesheart'.

I'm surprised! no one picked up on the name "Frankie Forde"  won't ya let me take you on a - "Sea Cruise" (1959)

Nice one, AGP!   I second Uncle John's "No back" vote.....   Very cool!

Comment by Bluesheart on August 25, 2015 at 3:12am

Sharp looking build, well done!

Comment by Monterey on August 24, 2015 at 3:50pm
That's really cool! A kid at work found a really nice old RR hubcap a few weeks ago- I told him to make a guitar out of it, but he had his heart set on hanging it on the wall...

I vote no on the back!

Comment by AGP # on August 24, 2015 at 1:12pm

Thanks 'Uncle John', because of the high dome on this cap, it sat in the shed for a couple of years, until I worked how to get around it, as you can see, in the end the solution was quite simple, was bit worried about the Bridge moving, but it seems to be holding okay.

Still debating whether or not it needs a back?
