Oh no, say it isn't so!

Dan, you built one beautiful Rocker (one of a hand full of the best on this site) I've enjoyed the pics you have posted & the chats we've had about our Rockers.

I totally understand why you have moved onto another project, your vision of your Rocker was likely complete & you seem like the type of guy that needs to keep your hands busy by building your vision.

I have no doubt your next project will be as nice if not nicer than your Rocker.

Make sure you post up your progress on your new project & good luck.

A toupee?
Good luck on whatever to you decide to custom out next.

I'm still not tired of my 1986 FXSTC I've had since new and doubt I'd sell my FXCWC. I'd just add another to the stable.

Cheers Rockerz,

That pretty much sums it up mate, oh & the $$$$ wasn't a bad reason either

Don't know if the next one will be as nice, it definately won't be as blingy, so will be very interesting to gauge people's reactions to it

Appreciate your tips along the way

Dan
