I looked at the Rotheblog site the other day, and I realized Jamie had been talking with Rich about reproing this bezel nearly 3 years ago. He's had the thing vectorized for at least 2 years. WHAT IS THE HOLD UP? I have been patiently waiting until I got to my Moon Patrol restoration to even bother bringing this up. Well, I'm there and I am most definitely in need of one. How close to completion is the project, and what will it take to finish it? Do we need a sign up list? Here you go:

It's really an aqua color in person. Someone attempted to restore the cab but didn't quiet do a good job on the color match.

My cab was color-matched at Sherwin Williams and looks a lot like your bare cab. The color of my cab was more aqua to begin with too, and it was original. I think it might have to do with the clearcoat yellowing over time. I like the aqua patina a hell of a lot more than the DK Baby blue. I am going brighter on the stencil coats too. Same color family, just more rich vibrant colors than the original.
 
This will happen and will start screening in about a month
current status.
Tinited plex is cut for aboput 18-20 bezels and film positives made.
what I dont have are screens large enough for this piece
they're currently being used for AgentX, before that D2k
screens this size get a little procey and take up alot of space so I dont have nearly as many on hand.
the other problem is we've only got 4 on the list and Zork really dosnt count well cause he drew it and is getting one reagardless:D

Peter Hirshberg was also on my orginal list but...
 
Well Let's go boys, if you are in on this project, speak up. Add your name to the list. I have yet to see an original MP bezel that isn't a flaking pile, so there's gotta be a lot of you out there.
 
I had quite a few people asking about this on my site via blog comments. I'll dig through those and send them here to get added to the list.
