Resto Questions from a Beginner: Dynamo Showcase Cabinet

Hello All,
I am in the process of cleaning up a nice Dynamo Showcase Cab with a 34" Monitor that looks great (color wise, I will cap it once I am done with the project).

I have never undertaken a Resto before. I worked at an arcade/pool hall for many years and have just a basic proficiency as I was just an attendant at several of the locations. ( I am 6'4" and was basically security and a mule for moving arcade machines.

I am looking for any and all help, basically some links to projects similar to mine that explain the ways to properly clean up the scratches and fix the corners, t-molding etc;

If you believe it will look much better if I go ahead and do it right, I will go that route and follow whatever steps are necessary.

I am on the fence, as it still looks good to me and has nice graphics already on the side.

Thank you, everyone, for any and all opinions as to how I should go ahead with this project.

Scott

Is that paint on the cab or vinyl? Either way bondo and sand, bondo and sand. Jhon's arcade on YouTube is working on a mortal kombat currently and if you watch that, you'll get a good rundown on how to work with bondo and apply vinyl.
