After many delays I have finally finished the 6L6 SE-UL chassis. The paint is still soft but I should get started mounting parts in a week or so, as soon and the paint hardens appropriately.
The top is still not perfect. In fact it’s far from perfect. But I have decided that it’s acceptable and I need to move forward. Here is the chassis with the painted top plate set in place.
Some of the imperfections can be seen in this picture. In fact, the specular light from my shop lighting makes the imperfections look worse than they really are. When I get everything mounted and in position, I don’t think they’ll be very noticeable. I also made a very interesting discovery considering my spray painting technique. But that discovery is for another post.
Look for much more assembly news in the next few weeks.
As always, questions and comments are welcome.
