Simpsons cabinet rebuild from scratch

[knight rider]

Ok, got this cabinet from a garage sale with the simpsons in it. Its an atari Gaunlet cabinet with a 19 inch monitor in it. I didn't like it so I wanted to build an original simpsons game cabinet. So, I was able to get the link to the plans from another member on here and started the project. Heres what I stared with

another update..... ok here it is downstairs for now with it some primer on it for now. I had the kids b-day party yesterday , ran out of time, so I sprayed some primer on it to give it a cool look for now, installed the monitor. I went from a 19 inch to a 25 inch to get it back to its original look with the big monitor.
The control panel, I know, looks bad, but its what came on the game originally, see the first picture of this thread. I put it on there so the kids could at least play 2 player until I can finish the 4 player panel. But you guys get the idea, almost finshed.... This game was a big hit yesterday, they all wanted to play it, awesome game, just wish I had the 4 player going on it

[knight rider]

ok, another update:

Got my joysticks in the mail the other day, and re-wired the 3 and 4 player harness. Also cleaned up and re-wired some of the jamma harness. Looks alot better now.From the first pic--to the 2 nd pic

Just primed the cabinet yesterday. Added a few touch ups fills, and then will sand and prime one more time. Everything is now put together, although it came out awesome, I was a little disappointed in the speaker cutouts. I start cutting out the slots for it, and my router wont cut the small slot in a row,so it combined it on me and made them one big slot. So, since you will see that, and I didnt want slanted or different sizes from the router, I cut the hole out for the speaker, and will add in speaker cover grills, which should make it real nice looking.

This is coming along great -- good work.
