That's one of the best looking conversions I've seen.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

That is way cool. I've never even attempted the tolex and piping yet!
Tapping into the inner tube.

Thanks!

The piping is stupid easy to do. Line it up and staple away.
Tweed is a little harder than Tolex, you just have to make sure you get the stripes lined up right. With the small amount that I did here, it was just contact cement and lay it down. Very easy to do. You should give it a try! You might surprise yourself as to how easy it is. Just plan it out and take your time.
