Okay, so I just got a set of Atari System II side art from pr0k and it looks great. Kudos to him for that. I actually thought that it was pre-shaped to fit the entire side panel, but it's actually just the colored portion of the art. I have bare white side panels on my cab so I don't know exactly where the artwork pattern is supposed to be placed. I'm wondering what the white border measurements are between the artwork and the side panel edges on the back, top, and front of the cab. Does anyone know or have a System II cab that could be used to measure?

Thanks, folks

I just finished mine last week.

I did mine 7/8" from the front and the top. That "optically" lines the bottom angle of the art with the angled part of the cab (it'll look slightly off when it's on its side).

Here is a before:

Now, the original one was 3/4" from the top and front, but I've seen originals centered front to back and the same distance from the top. It's really up to you.

I'm glad you like the artwork. I Pantone color matched it to the original, so it should be pretty close.

Sweet... hopefully that means I will have mine soon too. Hoping to finally finish the bondo/sanding work on my cab this weekend... I haven't had the time to touch it for a couple weeks now.
