Re: A '54 named Busty
Make your cardboard box, lay it up with fiberglass on the backside for strength. You got nuthin else to do, right? Only cost triple what the new one would but think of the fun and itchiness you could have. Haha.

Re: A '54 named Busty
we go out and spend $600 on raw materials, and another $900 on a single purpose tool we will never use again, and then we try to make our own box and never finish it...

Re: A '54 named Busty
Ok Schrodinger, I think the box needs some attention.
