Rebuilding 65-210

This is my first post; I just got a 65-210 last week. I took apart the amp because it had some bad clipping at a middling volume, and the cabinet seems to be in bad shape. But that's not what's really wrong.
The top two long bolts (in between the corner-molding pieces) didn't screw back into anything hard--they just dropped in. I was thinking, then, about just rebuilding a new wooden cabinet for the amp and then retolexing the thing. Do you think this is a good idea, or should I just try to tighten up with nails or woodglue the existing cabinet and retolex that?
Thanks!

If you're talking about the chassis bolts, they SHOULD drop through and they are supposed to have nuts on the bottom. If I am mis-understanding you, sorry. I would always repair though, rather than replace. It's a great cabinet to start with and I would definately fix IT. Mike.

Ah shoot, I totally lost the nuts, then. I imagine this presents something of a formidable problem. I didn't have a good workspace or good tools (I used the kitchen table, a bottle of wine, and a leatherman). Well, maybe I'll bring it to a repair shop or something.
I have another question that doesn't pertain directly to this section's topic, but maybe someone would be kind enough to help me with this one as well: When I'm using a distortion pedal (a proco rat) and have the amp set to breakup, too, the amp distorts in a really dirty way (good) but then the volume kind of drops out (bad). Is this the nature of the speaker, that it can't handle so much breakup?
