Here's your answer, Bobby.

Well I guess you'll be getting another Sho-Bud to restore and add some knees and pedal.
I know it will look great after you put your touch on it.

James, are you zinc plating the steel parts or nickel? Also, I sent you an email about prices.

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 20 Mar 2010 7:07 pm

Zinc, Dave.

Hey Chris, Thanx for the kind words. I just do this in my spare time---uh--which I got a lot of these days.

I installed the L-brackets with the nylon bushing and they work great!!
Very smooth and no noise at all.

James, keep us posted when you have other replacement parts for the Sho-Bud lovers.

Maybe somebody should give James a break.

I know for a fact the guy is running around like a 'chicken with his head cut off' getting parts made and shipping them all over the world. He ain't the Pep Boys

He doesn't just go pull it off a shelf. He really cares about restoring these old classics.

I have a couple of old Sho-Buds that James worked on and they not only play like a dream, they look and sound outstanding. He knows 'dem old Buds.

Sorry James,, I promise I won't hump your leg anymore.

James i'm not stupid. I never got an email at all. So don't jump on me. Now thats that. Jimmie

No body called you stupid Jimmie, but I sure wonder why you choose a public forum instead of emailing me directly, with that sort of a question. Evidently you have changed your email address from what we have? So email me so I have contact, please.

Danny Bates · Post by **Danny Bates** » 6 Apr 2010 9:57 pm

I've sent plenty of emails that never made it. It seems like it gets worse every year.

When I didn't get a response it was humiliating to say the least.

People would try to take my picture and I was just a blurr in the photo. It's because I was so nervous, I was shaking like a kitty trying to poop a peach pit.

Peace
