Birth of the Blue Missile

I finally got the 11 meter radio for the center console, and its too cold to rip the interior out of the car right now.
I also got the burl veneer for the main body of the amp, BUT... I now have to have the patience to let the softening solution do its thing and flatten out the veneer. The first pic is my veneer press and you can see hot interrelated cars and guitars are.
the final pic is a shot of the veneer panel and there are three pieces to the flitch and the book match is incredible.
