I am so not worthy - that Defender restore turned out completely bad@$$. I can only hope mine looks close to that good. Your thread is very helpful - my cab has similar damage to yours and will require almost identical repairs. I'm thinking salvaging the artwork may be a lost cause. Where do the stencils come from? Should a noob such as me even consider that or should I go with repro side art? I'm quite handy, but not sure I have the patience for all that. If sideart, where to source? Who is this "Wiz" of whom you speak, smisch? What about the stainless coin door - where'd tht come from? I totally have Defender envy at this point. Seriously though - someone please give me the low-down on the jrok pcb. What is bob roberts website?
First of all thanks for the kind words

If I can do it so can you, I not an artist by any means
Stainless Steel coin doors were factory stock original on early run Defenders
I swapped / traded some parts with another member here on the boards and restored it and slapped it in. (personal preference that I liked the SS door over black)
Jrok is a member on these boards and ran a multiwilliams pcb a short time ago, (it rocks) best to email him any questions directly
