Nicely done! Looks good, I've always been a fan of green. Did you by chance use my guide?

Man those shells are horrible, its like a wood collage in drum form.

Good job re-finishing them, the green looks great.

I still have to get the gloss on there, clean the hardware, get heads and order missing hardware. Oh and buy more paint for the floor tom.
What heads should I get Ambassadors? I'm thinking of getting them. Or Emps. Probably a super kick for the bass. I think after all that I can sell for a decent price on ebay saying its a vintage Ludwig Kit.

Should've kept them how they were, i like the trampy looking toms.
You've done good with them though.

Nice...looks like you could have done a little more sanding to totally smooth them out though.

Good work :)
