it's time to put it over the top... the hand rails on the cab...I could install them sticking out from the side of the cab... ![]() or inset them in.... ![]() I tell ya, that was pretty nerve racking 2 hours just for the one side. if I can get the other side to come out as good as this side I'll be good. I sure would hate to scrap this cab and start over... I did get some chipping at the bottom of the padauk, I can live with it but I wonder if there is anyway of fixing the chips? how about that Elmers glue that can be stained, if I add some Padauk to it will that help fill in the chips.... onto the other side...wish me luck Trout
