Thank you very much! It certainly took some patience. I’d estimate that I spent about twelve hours on it this week. Something would go wrong and I would have to try again. I had to remind myself of Bob Ross—there are no mistakes, only happy accidents.
I digress, but I do have a fun fact. I was born the very day that Bob Ross passed away—July 4th, 1995. Perhaps Bob’s spirit flew by and graced me with just enough artistic patience to get these radios done!
In any event, next will be those lighter portions of the shoulders and then the speaker grill. I also need to refinish the interior. I have some primer and brown paint that come close to matching the original interior color.
