Well,
Some of you may recall the hell that I went through to get the SW side art off. Unfortunately that was only the beginning. It seems this cab has just decided to be a royal pain in the ass...
Lets see...
MARQUEE INSTALLATION - Some may know i managed to break my freakin SW marquee frame. Well, I put it together, but it's not 100% right. After installing the marqueee overlay I determined the frame was a little "off" because of the break. Bottom line... it looks fine unless you really look hard... but it'll have to do.
YOKE ART INSTALLATION - Yeah, this should be real easy, right? Well, it was.. for the most part... but of course I managed to screw it up somewhat. But again, a little more work and it came out decent... but if you look real hard you can see the screw up.
COIN DOOR - Jesus... I had 3 nice folks send me parts from 3 different coin doors. I chose the nicest combination and painted. Well, guess what... the freakin coin bezels don't fit on the coin door i chose... the door I chose used the slightly thinner PLASTIC coin bezel whereas I painted up the nice METAL versions. Unfortunately the god damned INSIDE parts that you need to keep the actual plastic "reject buttons" in place was designed for the coin door/bezel I couldn't use on the nice coin door... Bottom line... I wasted time and paint because I had to move on to the OTHER not-quite-so-nice door and paint that bad boy... which is where I sit today.
What should have taken a 5-6 hours restoration time has taken me about 20 thus far... and I'm not done.
But at least she's a "keeper", eh?
