So I found some vinyl for the amp

I asked around for how much it might cost to get half a yard of automotive or marine vinyl– I find that it’s REALLY PRICEY. $10 for HALF a yard? Wow. That seems a bit much. So I went to a junkyard and asked what they’d charge me for cutting the top off an old vinyl-topped car. 2 dollars and a square yard of vinyl later you get this picture:

After I cleaned it (dish soap, hot water, a general purpose scrub brush and a rag):

It came off a car kinda like this one (I think it was a few years older, I don’t really know):

Stay tuned!

  1. That’s something I miss SO MUCH about living in Provo–the awesome, awesome junkyards. There’s nothing like that up here in NW WA.

  2. I’m impressed with the search and persistence! You are resourceful, for sure!
