Check your house for bugs. The wires will lead to Sam's house. Sam's old school, he ain't using no stinking Wi-Fi

RON!
I did some final gluing on this and started veneering.
Before I adhere it I would like to know if you like the grain.

Pictured below..

RE: Rons Tropic 42-788 - Ron Ramirez - 04-20-2016

Grain is fine...I may have to bleach that top panel though...I was just looking at my 41-788 for comparison and the top panel on it is lighter than that.

Yes, picky, I know.

That left top panel (front to back grain, 2nd photo) looks great

There is no veneer on the right side yet. They will match so no worries...

Ron's truck? It will have space for everything plus you fit in it.
It can be seen from space.

Hmm wounded if he has roof racks   

Well we know it's not Terry's falcon

With the lack of clamps due to other radios needing them, I could only safely veneer the sides with their book matched veneer. That is thanks to Steve!

  She is ready for the front veneer and then I will fix a few chips on the right side back that I had forgot about.
Last is the off color veneer patches from last summer.. I have no idea why they are darker but I have my wood bleach and will lighten those suckers up....
