Good work
I've never been game enough to remove a front (or rear) section from a cabinet on any of my restores, i've never really needed to... yet!!
Then again i havent had any cabs with frankenstein bolts hanging out of them either... well my Stern Dracula had large woodscrews and cup washers screwed into the front corners (i call these "Barry the Bodger" repairs)
Keep up the great work Nino
