Check your house for bugs. The wires will lead to Sam's house. Sam's old school, he ain't using no stinking Wi-Fi Icon_smile

RON!
I did some final gluing on this and started veneering.
Before I adhere it I would like to know if you like the grain.

Pictured below..

Grain is fine...I may have to bleach that top panel though...I was just looking at my 41-788 for comparison and the top panel on it is lighter than that.

Yes, picky, I know. Icon_think Icon_redface

That left top panel (front to back grain, 2nd photo) looks great Icon_thumbup

Ron's truck? It will have space for everything plus you fit in it.
It can be seen from space.

With the lack of clamps due to other radios needing them, I could only safely veneer the sides with their book matched veneer. That is thanks to Steve!

  She is ready for the front veneer and then I will fix a few chips on the right side back that I had forgot about.
Last is the off color veneer patches from last summer.. I have no idea why they are darker but I have my wood bleach and will lighten those suckers up....
