Headbox has been left with my paint contact to get matched.  Will be ready next week.  Thankfully the top of the backbox was in really good shape and the paint was (I think) as close to factory as you would get.

Metal work (regraining) most of the day.  I stripped the wireform ramps this morning and put them into the dishwasher.  I've done this before and didn't get very good results.  Today - the dishwasher was having a clean (you know the finish bottles you put in it to clean it on full cycle) - so I thought what the heck I'd throw the ramps in too.

Came out very nice!  Was thinking I'd have to get them rechromed but good as new.

The vents for the cab / backbox have been painted as well.  Previously I've just grained them but they were beyond that so matt black.
