This got me thinking... I think I may as well keep my Surfy kits. What chassis did you use for yours, Ben?

Almost finished :)
Need some better plywood for the back as its bowing. Ran out of glue and don't have screws long enough for baffle, but you get the idea :D

That looks bloody classy! Actually reminds me a bit of the Mesa Boogie California Tweed.

keeping an eye on this thread as it has occurred to me that it might be very cool to put my 1x10 pro junior on top of a matching cab, making it a 2x10 without taking up a lot of space . . .

Will be starting a Mesa style 2x12, finger jointed 18mm ply. Should be a monster!
