Chandy Cab Restoration

I should probably give you a bit of technical information here.... sorry I forgot. Working with 0.8mm polypropylene and lexan was required because the steel inset was 1.6mm thick and the lip for it is about the same. Anything else would have stuck out. The problem with working with these materials is that if your bolt holes are even 0.1mm out the material will bow and look terrible. Achieving a perfect flat look requires literally hours of adjustment to the holes but is worth every minute when it's done. Start in the middle, work out and widen the holes in the direction of any bowing, bolt as you go. About 0.1mm of hole misalignment equals about 5mm of bowing.

Looks much neater. Nicely done.

WAITING...
Sometimes cab restoration becomes a waiting game. While I was hoping to have this totally completed by this weekend when a pair of Exceleena cabs should arrive, I am still missing a few things I need before I can put the back on. I have ordered 2 speakers to replace the cheap tinny sounding crud that was originally fitted. These will likely need a 3d printed mount to fit to the original screw holes. I also need a marquee and I was going to try someone local because the shipping cost from the US seems way to high but I have tried calling once and emailing twice and get crickets. I'll probably just order from Game on Graphix again but I may change up my design a little first.
