D45 Martin conversion

Post by tippie53 »

Just finished this one up getting ready for Nazfest in Nazareth PA. Took a destroyed D28 and turned it into a pre war D 45.

John

Looks great. I presume the back and sides are Brazilian. Do these conversions demand a high price when they are done - in other words, does it pay back the time and cost to do the work?
