So I just picked up this Red Tent from my buddy Josh this past weekend, and I just finished fixing it up a bit. The red paint was great, so I decided not to touch it at all. The black on the other hand had tons of rust, and it looked like an op tried to paint over it at one point with a hand brush...so I decided to clean it up! Both control panels were also pretty bad, with horrible joysticks, so I decided to rebuild those as well. Here's what I've done so far, and what I still need:

Done:
Tore down the cab in it's entirety, cleaned every inch, sanded, primed.
Painted the entire bottom of the cab, inside and out, all doors, everything.
Removed all buttons, joysticks, tore them down completely, cleaned, and rebuilt them.
Reassembled brand new looking cab!

To do:
Get new buttons for colors that are missing.
New flyback for Excitebike monitor.

Check out the pics!

Here it was when I got it home:

And here it is finished! Check out the whole thread for progress shots.

Poor Excitebike isn't allowed to be played, the flyback is going out, so I have the monitor disconnected until I can afford I new one.
