My cabinet resto pic haven't been added yet but I'll get to it in time. They're all ready to be posted but I just haven't had the time to do it. This particular resto was done on a Zenith chassis.

My hat's off to you if you are willing to do all that. Looks beautiful. No one can argue with that.
I also understand you supplement your income doing restorations (or possibly it is your main occupation). Definitely a good way to attract customers when you radio looks like this.

This is however not something I am willing to do myself.
