Looks awesome Jack, is that a 80's model. I had an 84 SD10 that was great.

Jack, that's a very nice looking Zum.

Was changing to the keyless tuner happen part of your remodel? Did it change the scale length?

Thanks Doug , Jack it’s usually pretty easy the inside of casted inplates usually have a sandpaper look like the inside of a old dinner Bell An they ring like a bell if you hang them from a coat hanger an thump them.

whoooaaa,,,thanks for the kind words Jack,,,not all new,,but a rebuild of what was already there,,,,brought to mind what the old craftsman said,,"easier to give birth, than it is to resurrect",,(I've added lots of pieces to my scrap box to prove it!),,LOL. The main thing is that it works for you,,,,glad I could help.
