Well... this is still going but some things have changed. I have a big move coming with a lot of moving parts so I have opted to not do the tolex myself. I had to take some things off my plate and this is on a bit of a schedule so I opted to let MojoTone in NC do it.

 

Amplates is doing my control panel and badge.

 

...and something very interesting is happening to the guts.

 

I will release more details as comes along.

 

MojoTone has got it down, expect a great job!

Top...notch...job by MojoTone on wrapping the cab. I ultimately decided on going with Swart type lacquer job with a Mesa style black grillcloth due to the way it had to be wrapped.

 

...but anyways...cab is wrapped!

Don't get too excited. haha. I am not exactly doing a restoration here. The circuit has been very modified. Hardly a GA-20T Ranger anymore. It's better. :D

Lookin' good so far! What's that little strap thingy on the inside of the cab? Pedal stirrup?

That's it! It is the old stirrup for the trem pedal. It is, however, no longer a trem pedal. The pedal will still be used... but not for that. :)

Whoa!!!! That looks sick! Great job man! I want clips!

LOOOONG way to go before I can get clips. I have to get the iron and speaker ordered and then my tech (old friend) will get to work.

The rest of the componentry is in. Just need to verify that the speaker has arrived and the assembly should start this week or next. :)
