Commando to Ghost n Goblins Conversion
Well this may or may not pan out, for now, given that I have about a million things going on, summer quickly approaching, and a car to work on, I decided to just leave the cab as-is for the time being, however, since it has a nice removable panel inside for the guts, make it so the cab could be torn down in very little time/effort if I do get bored one summer day and decide to repaint.
Anyhow, the Commando cab is a fairly close match to the original GnG (definitely different though). Width-wise its a perfect match and the marquee and bezel drop right in place. The control panel will not work as the original GnG panel would stick out too far on this cab. (It would probably bolt up though). If one were good with woodworking, and could extend the sides out a couple inches, the panel would fit.
Anyhow to start, I had to find out if I could even make it a horizontal cab, so I took a bunch of measurements from a K7000, transferred them to the cab, and started sawing.
