amp cosmetics

Hey Keith,
amp near completed, but again I need your decision about few cosmetic issues :
1. back panel
here's my back panel mounted on your cab - it's sticking out about 1 - 2 mm from the back and it has markings which I can't erase:
I can't fix this, so should I mount it as it is, or mount that curved panel (which fits flush, but of course looks totally unfinished). If you ask me, my covered panel looks much better than naked curved panel here:2. Glue mark
Here's our amp heads, (yours is the upper one) - there is a glue mark in the lower right corner of your front panel (when stapling the cloth, that panel leg got broken! don't ask how :). Is it acceptable, or do I give you my front panel:
better view here:
Please let me know what you think.

And, on a lighter note:
completed amp at 2 in the morning, just a Magnatone logo to tack on! (excuse the poor picture, will do better today)
and, the playground :)
