What, you have a old International that hasn't completely rusted away? Welcome aboard and nice job on your git.

Was pretty lucky with the Inter. Very little rust. Just an engine issue that we are sorting out. Eventually we will replace a couple of dented guards with dent rust free ones we already have and give her a fresh coat of paint.

Thanks everyone. I wanted to go with a rustic look so when I knocked the old box apart to cut it down I even re used the old nails with surface rust on the heads, Cheated with the picture it is just printed on matt photo paper.

Was told I still need holes in face to let sound out even though it has the underbridge pickup. Is this correct? Or if the holes are needed could I get away with a couple on the end of the box instead of face?

holes on the side are fine. may not be quite as loud but there are many pic here with different hole positions... the holes will only affect the unplugged sound.
