    Tom,  thanks for the idea.  Here are the lyrics:

    Junkyard Angel by Uncle John
     
     
    I was seventeen when I bought that Oldsmobile.
    Bought it at a junk yard, ohh what a deal.
    It had a big V-8,  A big V8 – made those tires squeal.
     
    I had a part time job and it was all I could afford.
    Drove it like a fool and always had it floored.
    It was my junk yard Olds, my junk yard Olds, oh good Lord!
     
    Second week I had it, I blew out a rear tire.
    I met a junk yard girl and my heart just caught on fire.
    She was a junk yard angel, a junk yard angel, she was so fine.
     
    I was in high school and she was a college girl
    I didn’t have a chance but I gave it a whirl.
    She was a junk yard angel, a junk yard angel, I wanted her.
     
    She looked out of place workin’ the counter at the junk yard.
    But her daddy owned the place and she needed a summer job.
    She was a junk yard angel, a junk yard angel, she was so fine.
     
    She shot me down fast, I never had a chance.
    I was too young and too poor for a shot at that romance.
    She was a junkyard angel, a junk yard angel, so fine
    A junk yard angel, I wish she was mine.  I wish she was mine.

    Tom, that's a great idea!  LOL.   John, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    UJ thats a nice piece of work mate, You have given me the next project I think lol

    Thanks guys.  Yes, the build is simple.   Thought maybe I overdid the stickers, but like it for now.  Action a bit high.   Needs a piezo.  Stickers were at O' Reilly Auto Parts and cheap.   Also the pin-striping used for fret markers.  Sounds pretty good acoustic.
