Stand on your head, or lay on your side, and the camera will be orientated right. :p
Looking good! How bad was the de-lamination?

If you have your pics in Windows, just use the viewer and rotate - it is automatically saved in the rotated way you choose.
Then post it here.

The de-lamination was not too bad, bottom left hand side, no chips. Gotta put on the replacement decals and then add a couple more coats of lacquer. The grain is great, really happy with the way it's turning out. I'll post some more pics once I finish the cabinet. Then back to the chassis. I'll figure out the pictures

Very true, but if you break it down and take your time, it’s not too bad. I had my sub chassis out for a week. I would do a bit and then take a break. Too easy to break something.
As for the rust, I had that issue too, everywhere, Since I had it apart, I decided to paint it. A good cleaning, rust neutralizer, and paint/primer, and it looked good. Rustoleum metallic Satin Nickle was my choice. Obviously I was not planning on ever taking it apart again.
