Cabinet Restoration

I'm restoring my '69 Marshall straight front cabinet. The original owner ripped the tolex and grillecloth off and stained the cabinet as well as put spandex on for the grillecloth.

I have an order of "salt & pepper" grillecloth as well as black tolex and white piping coming in a few days.

Has anyone out there ever redone tolex on Marshall cabs? I have never done tolex before so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. What type of adhesive should I use also?

I think the 3M spray can of contact cement would be the best choice. That's what I use to put carpet on my homemade cabs and racks. You might need to sand down the finish a little to get a good grip.
