Next Project: Super Hang On. Uncommon Version?

Awesome work, great to see the progress. I too have never seen one of these in the wild, it's a cool Japanese version.

I'm also in the midst (slowly) of restoring my regular standup SHO. The biggest pain in the ass so far has been dealing with the plastic/fiberglass cowling, stripping it down, sanding it, prepping it, painting it, blah blah.

I'm personally going to try and clean up the metal trim pieces and replace the mats with some new grooved black mats.

In any case, good luck and looking forward to the progress!

Yeah those plastic cases look like a major pain. Pretty awesome though. Definitely stands out in a row of games.
 
WOW - That is going to be incredible! I have a Super Hang-on (standard upright) I'm working on too, but yours is looking to be in a different league than mine.

$.02 on the Flexi-Dip, it doesn't hold up well to abrasion. I've used Plasti-dip (from what I understand the Flexi is just Rustoleum branding their own version of the product) a bunch and it's great for some things but if you really rest your foot on it and move it around it will peel. You can get Vinyl paint from an auto supply house. The old school Vinyl Die is illegal in CA now, so the best product we can get is this: http://www.tcpglobal.com/SEM-15033_...XYJKD5eT8JCHROI8TQAaAn5UEALw_wcB#.Wk6CvnlG0-U . If you use the prep product then spray it holds much better than plasti-dip. I sprayed some on a part of the leather seats that my kids had worn down hopping in and out and it came out great and held up to lots of abuse.

Thanks for the tip on the Flexi-Dip. Yeah I think you're right about Plasti-Dip being the same. I bought another brand at the same time from another store, forget which, just to have a color choice. Ended up using the one that was closest. I had a feeling it might not hold up too well. I ordered a sample piece of diamond pattern floor mat today, and I'm hoping that it's a match. If it is, I'm going to just replace it. I'd rather not glue it down, only to have it peeling in a month.
