Here's a quick walkthrough of my first CBA build. I used the kit from cigarboxjunction.com and added a few of my own touches.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys... and thank for the tip Francois.

During the last build I discovered that soaking shiny plated metal parts in a solution of citric acid for a few minutes will strip the coating and make the parts look older. After that I soak in a baking soda solution and rinse well to neutralize the acid. You might want to do this to that hinged hook if it really annoys you.

Nice amp. I have made a few cb amps and they are fun little projects and uses up the little cube boxes too small for guitars or ukes.
