Looks awesome so far!
I used vinyl to wrap my 18W. Followed the instructions from an Uncle Doug youtube video, fender style. I used a cheap wallpaper seam roller from mitre10, and the long tack Ados glue on the timber, spray Ados on the vinyl. Worked a treat. Just make sure to paint black under where your joins/corners will be, as the vinyl can shrink a little after drying, and black makes ithe seam less obvious
I've got a tin of Ados F2 at home I'm hoping will do that job.

Should be fine, best tip I got was from BG saying you need less than you expect! It certainly worked against me on the first sheet I did.

Especially if using vinyl, too much will cause excess shrinkage.
I've used water based on tolex but not sure I'd recommend it for vinyl.

Quite glad I was forced to do it in 4 pieces, the gold piping looks choice. It's just cloth piping from a craft store, but does the trick. It's only held in with staples so can replace with the proper stuff if I want.

I could certainly give it a go! Although you may want to have a closer look at those corners first!

They look pretty good to me
Just realised this is a speaker cab, I'm wanting a combo cab suitable for a Sixty-One SRT and with gold piping on the front too. I can give you chassis dimensions etc. Still interested?

Where did find that grill cloth? Usually offshore only at least when I've needed it.

Had it floating around the garage for ages, but pretty sure it was from AliExpress.
