Boy do I know how that is, I've had 4 days off this yr and 2 of them were snowed in. I also have more projects than any sane man would take on and that fits me just fine:laugh: I usually drift between a couple projects to keep my mind from going stagnet, If I'm befuddled about a way to go about something I'll work on another project for a while to clear the cobwebs out.
Later today I'll have pics of the new neck intstalled.

Yes, it was done on a jig just to make sure it was right. That frame was actually 1 of the straighter frames I've worked on.
