Jedda,
I've gone over this thread a couple times now, and I know I need to do it again as there are some hidden gems in here if I read more carefully.
But my big question is, what or how did you mount those front panels? I didn't see any pics anywhere showing what you did, and correct me if I'm wrong, but that mesh front isn't LL standard issue ???
Anyway, I'm just curious to see the process, as I have an idea of my own that I wan't to try and could be similiar in methods to what you did in the front. . .
