Yup, I just filled mine with paint. Can easily tell it's been filled, I can live with the results. Is this one your "keeper"? You seem to trade often. Have to think your going to keep one of them as a "forever" amp because they're so rare.

Trade? I haven't traded one yet. They usually sell before I get them done. I will be keeping one, maybe two.

Trade in the old timey format. Trade for $. I need to stop using that term, picked it up from some old guys long ago in North Carolina.

Finished up another Pro700 this morn. Should have had it completed 2 weeks ago but trying to get the deck repaired before weather sets in and then drilling a hole in my middle finger slowed me up a bit. This is #2 and while it's burning in, I'm working on #3. Got all the boards built and the chassis assembled. All I got left on the deck for this year is finishing the sealer/stain but it will have to wait since the highs for this week will be about 40 till the weekend. the new deck boards will wait till April. So I got to finish and ship these two, and finish insulating the garage. The 4th Pro700 is mine and I am in no hurry. It will give me something to do this winter (along with WOPLing a 400 II and a 700 II).

Just finished another Pro 700. It's not quite as pretty as the others but painting season has long gone. Momma would beat my ass if I started painting in the house. Can't blame her. But for those who want the extra bling, it's easy enough to pull handles or tape off the back so the trans bell can be sprayed. Either way, crank it up and you'll forget about chipped paint. I had plans for a small negative pressure paint booth but had too many chores. I'll be delivering these next week on my way through Colorado (and I guess picking up another two or three). Anybody looking for a WOPL'd Pro 700? Or maybe a stock one to work on? I may have another SPARE when I get back.

As a matter of fact, the amp I was having power issues with, is getting partially disassembled and a BABB system with new rectifier installed. It always sucked trying to get all the grounds tied on to the buss and then have to add 2 more grounds for pin 5 of the control board. Now I put 2 of the toothed lugs on each screw and it's so easy. No more burnt fingers.

Then I'll start the 400 I have been wanting to build. My 400 has found a new home so when I get back, I'll need a new amp. Guess I had better gather some parts soon.

That's a bummer, I tried calling you a while back when I heard from Kevin that you drilled you finger.

Just shoveled the truck out so I could 4 wheel it to fedex to ship 2 more amps. I had these boxed a sitting here for a week but can finally get around. It's 21 degrees, should get up to almost 30, and in the high 30's the rest of the week. I wish the Duramax would fit in the garage, who the fuck builds these garages anyway. I think I'll sell it and get me another 80's Silverado like my green one.
