So here are some updates on the project. I have already gotten the Bandits back from repair, a big thanks the Tricky Ricky on the forum for a fast turnaround. The burnt bandit got a new board and the other Bandit got new caps.

I did some of the stenciling today, here are some construction pics. I am going to start aging the top tomorrow.

When I move out of mod street I may try this in the bed.

The stencils will look much less bold after I distress them tomorrow.

That stenciling looks really good, can't wait to see the crate "aged". Keep up the pictures and the good work.

I really like all the effort going into a simple part like this amp rack! Kudos from overseas for taking the time to get this done!

I did some aging on the top, maybe a bit too much. It looks like it has been thru a war now.

Looks great! What do you have planned for the nail heads? Rust paint or maybe flat black paint? What process did you use to age it? Flame? Coffee?
A few of these and a few of those.

I hear if you pee on them and leave them in the sun they will get a nice rusty patina to them. :safe: < thought we had a peeing smiley to go with this, this was as close as I could get.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

Everything is installed and the rear seat is back in. It is tight, very tight. I can fold the seat flat with the front cover on and I can even latch it in the up position, however I have to remove the front cover to lock the bottom of the seat up.

That looks very cool. very nice way to present these nice old school amps!!! One way I have heard you can distress wood is too beat it with a length of chain. The kind you hook a dog up to. The ones were both ends are looped back and twisted is the middle.

Thanks
Justin
