I bought a whole box of cb's at a yard sale the other day for 5 bucks.....thinking I could swipe some parts from them....or get a couple of them to work (I have this weird addiction with cb's....it's crazy)  anyhow....some were just in parts....so I swiped the knobs and stuff now, I have these really nice cb metal cases and no guts....so I was thinking, a cb resinator?  To peices of wood for the top and bottom with the rest as the body? I am sure it could be done, and it would be one of a kind....

There's one good way to find out!

Peak & Tune make it push 40W and dont blow out the finals...Breaker 1-9..I think we have a convoy
Yep, first song needs to be Convoy or Westbound and Down!
Hmmm...as an avid amateur radio operator....I like this idea. Now all I gotta do is come up with an old CB....


I am thinking leave the faceplate on it with the knobs, use that as the tailend of the box. Make a wood insert for the other end, and go from there.....might be fun!!

To bad I converted allot of the ones I bought in the past to 10 meter FM!!
