Looks like with all the years that went by, you didn't loose your touch on finishing a blank! Black is probably one, if not the hardest, color to finish and finsh correctly. I absolutely hate to do black, cause I'm so picky about the finish.....you might have given me the 'want to' to do it one more time.
Bet that kit would cost about $50+ in todays market....prices don't seem to be under control with the vendors on kits anymore(they're all wanting a bigger piece of the pie). Too cool you kept them all this time, and then turned it into a treasure!!!
