Fat Chance Shock a Billy No. 2 : 056P3SM

You seem happy enough with the purchase Dave..
I said the rear end was a later model.. I snapped the original one.. and the seat tube was regularly WD40'd to prevent corrosion.. looking forward to seeing the final job...the shock was what came with the rear end and it didn't leak so I just made up the mountings so I could use it..

The yellow's now gone, man it's nice to see it without paint. You really get a nice idea of the workmanship and detail of the build from a naked frame.
Interestingly I found the serial which was hidden under a heap of powder-coat.
Serial is 056P3SM
So, that says to me it's a 93, it's Small/Medium, but crucially does the P indicate it might be a Prototype? I know 93 is early for a Shock A Billy but what do you think? 94 Catalogue seems to hint at there being a few 1993 prototypes doing the rounds.

Don't think the P stands for prototype as mine is #19P4ML.

How is this looking now Dave? Got any further with what colour scheme you are going for?
Great to meet you yesterday Dave 
As for the P, I came across this on FAT COGs.. http://www.fatcogs.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9214

I am still a believer in the P been just the model designator initially. Otherwise it would mean we have about 4 prototypes on here!
