V4 Head Cab restore/refinish

[beedoola]

I got this V4 project and besides needing power tubes, new caps and some other stuff, the cab was it crappy shape. At first I was just going to leave it because I generally don't care too much about how an amp looks/its condition, etc. but it was really dirty. The tolex was in bad shape and the inside was filthy (the latter was the motivator to get my to refinish it).

I used Duratex finish paint which is made specifically for cabinets. I got the stuff on Parts-Express.com.

I stripped all the old tolex off and sanded the inside and outside. I just used to etching primer for the inside.

I happened to have some extra grill cloth left over from when I redid my old V4 years ago.

I still need to made rear protective panel. I saw there is a diagram online with the specified dimensions.
