I'm using this time to upload some pics, while on the road. I made a bit of headway in repurposing and refinishing the cabinet from the old Firebird amp for the new build. Here's a few pics...
Sanding the inside of the rear panel...
The bottom was rough, I sanded the inside...
...and the outside of the bottom panel. Next, sandblasting...
I used the original front panel for a bit of the new front fab...
Below, a piece of aluminum extrusion I used for a new front panel, and attached the upper edge from the old panel.
After blasting, primer was laid on and sanded...
Front panel in ivory semi-gloss...
The tube socket mount, ready for new sockets.
Bottom side of the lower panel with a wrinkle finish...
A quick mockup...
3 pics above show the top cover in a black hammered finish.
