So I went to the warehouse shindig in Louisville last weekend, and came back with a 'Capcom Bowling' game that had been converted from a Super Pacman. I've been looking for a Superpac for a while, hoping to find one that I wouldn't feel bad about putting a multigame in. This one looked like just the ticket!
We had really warm and sunny weather today, so I wheeled the cab out into the sun to do some work on it... let's see if I can get this horrible wood siding off and reveal the art underneath.
I faced the side I was going to pull toward the sun for about 1/2 hour, and it really warmed up -- the wood siding is dark and really soaks up the rays. Once it warmed up, the wood siding peeled off really easily. I had only a few little spots where the paint came off, and one patch on one side in the back -- not sure why this one spot didn't hold?
The hard part is going to be getting rid of the glue. It is gooey like dried rubber cement. I was actially able to rub off a patch about 8" by 8" with my thunb, but it was a real pain and took 20 minutes to do. Any ideas...
And now, for the pictures -- sorry, there was no phonebooth available for the costume change!
