Hope you're feeling better!

Regarding the Lexington meet, see here:

And thanks, but my cabinet work is amateurish at best. I'm better at the chassis restoration, but then I've had a lot more experience with chassis than with cabinets. I didn't get the grain 100% filled on the 42-761EZ, but it will have to do. The top looks pretty good. I guess I'm going to have to remember to apply 2 or 3 coats of filler from now on, as I put 2 on the top but only 1 on the front and sides.

I'm glad the Constantines grain filler is available again. The stuff stinks, but it works better than anything else I've tried.
