I blinked. where's the after? Stop it with the suspense, It's killing me! :D
 
Stripped the cab down to wood, bondo the house and nicks, primed, re-painted the cab semi-black, back of cab flat black, added new t-molding, restored the gas pedal (took apart and cleaned piece by piece). New cab feet

One thing i did that was better then screwing dry-wall screws in the back of the monitor door, was to add some hinges under neath the door with chains holding the door and installed a lock so now the monitor is locked in... heres a pic:

That would be System 1...

...and yes, it looks nice. I just picked up a RB kit for my System 1 cab. I'm gunna have to drill some holes for the pedals though... and it appears my kit is missing the harness that goes between the pedals/wheel and the mainboard so I am on the lookout for that.

Did you re-vinyl or paint?

paint... i also have indiana jones for it which looks real nice with the orange molding... it kinda goes with both!!
 
You wouldn't happen to be willing to take a picture of the harness that goes from the wheel and pedal to the mainboard... would ya? Is it one harness or two?

I picked up a kit (just came in the mail today) and the darned thing doesn't have the harness.
 
well heres some pics hope this helps:

Heres where the cable connects to the pedal, just 3 wires red, white and black:

heres a pic of both pedal and wheel hooked up... it hooks just like I.J.T.D.. you use the right one, and the left one.. the middle one is for the pedal.. the one far on the right is for the monitor by the way!!

Thanks Luckyman...

The KLOVian who sold me the kit emailed me saying he found the harness that I was missing separate from where he stored the rest of the kit... he's shipping it out to me so all is well.
