Looks very good!

What type of material do you use for the speaker enclosure?

Baltic birch with lots of bracing this one is 3/4”. Then I make a face out of 1/8 Masonite. Sometimes I use MDF, but usually birch….depends on the quote.

This is the plug from the speaker hole. It’s 3/4” overall with 13 solid birch laminates. It’s pretty pricey. Around 4x the cost of MDF. I have to order the stuff from a wholesaler in FtWorth. They have everything from 1/16” to 1-1/2”. I usually order 18-20 sheets at a time to get free delivery and a price break.

Well, the tan inside would probably match when up. The shade will turn the interior tan a shade darker. Maybe???

Nice work, the steering wheel is a little much, but the customer must like it.
