Half of it is on my hard drive, the other half is still in my head.

I will be applying some attention to the ABS review as soon as I get the amp reviews out for publication.

The green is no longer available. It would probably be white unless it is N.O.S.

Yes, the ABS is a good antenna and built very well. You have my official 'thumbs up'.

Lead free auto primer works the best. However, laquer works great as well. The most important thing before painting your ABS is to remove ALL the mold wax from the fiberglass. Do this with lots of clean rags and acetone, changing rags frequently. There is no need to sand the fiberglass as long as all surface wax is gone.

I, too, look forward to the review on the new Big Stick. I wonder how much better it is than the old big stick?

Don't use Rhino Truck bed lining on your big stick. It makes it too heavy to get into the air. LOL!
