It's pretty exciting finishing your first cabinet eh? Well done. You might want to consider hiding those speakers?

That's nothing to be ashamed of Meu amigo.  You're the only one who will ever know where all the flaws are.  Your friends will only notice how cool it is to play.

Did you build this yourself or is it a conversion?

everyones first cabinet is always "functional".  mine was a frankenpanel with the crappy lightning bolt contact paper for the cp.  and the cp itself was held up by L brackets.  yeah...it sucked.  that wont be your last cabinet....youll get inspired like i did, and then build something you can really be proud of.

nice first effort though.  welcome to the hobby that sucks your life away.   :cheers:
