69 cabinet Restoration+ Vintageheadbox

[Jbrax]

I was sent a 69 top cab for a re finish. It had been done before so the new owner wasnt concerend about doing it again. So it came to me from New York and I got into it , stripping the tolex and removing all the hardware. After doing so I could see that this cab had been put thru the ringer a complete road dog for sure.I noticed that there was some water damage to the bottom of the cab and that all 4 corner finger joints were real loose,as the original glue was not doing its job anymore only the preasure of the joints and the tolex that was on it were the only things holding it together. So After talking to the new owner Paul it was deceidedto take the cab apart and re glue this old beaut back together. After about 2 hours the I had the cab apart. This is where I am at now and heres are some oics of this project
