How accurate Nik's chassis are? Since VHR stopped selling these I'm looking for alternative and i was wondering about Ceriatone

Any "Hey What?!" owners/builders/users here?

Hiya, sinner!

I don't have a Ceriatone Hey What amp, but have heard good things about them.
If some pictures would help you to compare, take a look at these:

and compare that to this:

Thanks Pokey

I know hiwatt.org page, all Hiwatt wankers know ;) There is an chassis draw on there, and I was thinking to have it custom made locally as an alternative solution, there is a guy who could do the cab here as well http://www.buzzarocabs.com/

Also I know that guy here who owns CNC machine, and he also could do the cab for me, but without tolex on - but I don't think I'm ready to do the upholsterer work myself ;)

I was going to build DR103 really, and I started to do the layout with some Trainwreck Pages mods to it. I still need to do alternative grounding route per Kens recommendations and overcheck it 10 times

Layout attached
