Re: Project: Clean the Green Jimmy

after waiting to get the welder in,i chiseled the bottoms off the rivits
but could not push them out,but did drill through from the top later
got the shock mount fixed and back in
when i pushed the shock up the shock was siezed,hence the crack
picked up some new ones
the PO cut up into three and rivited the rear carpet strip,i found one from one of my burbs,trim to fit
hope it's all in today....my show is Monday
