This Capcom Big Blue wasn't made for Bowlin; it's a Fighter!
I'm slow; incredibly slow. Too many projects, too many hobbies. I realized the other day that it has been almost a year since I started this thing and I still haven't finished it.
But here I am, I apologize in advance if any of the pictures just come out ridiculous, my phone takes crazy big photos and it becomes fun resizing them all. Also, I am going to admit that this is my first cabinet fix (I'm not sure if I would call it a restore). So I have been learning as I go. And boy have I learned a lot.
I give you my SF2 - Hyper Fight/ Marvel vs Capcom 2 Big Blue Project:
I got this cabinet as a trade from a friend who picked it up with another complete cabinet. Between the two of us we saved it from the dump. It had been converted to a bowling game and then mostly stripped out. Through a series of purchases I was able to get a working Naomi - Marvel vs Capcom 2 setup, and working Hyper Fight boardset. And so the cabinet's future had been decided, seeing as this is cabinet #77 of SF2-CE according to Dynamo's tag.
First came stripping the cabinet and its black paint. This went smoothly, but unfortunately as you can see, someone had decide to chop the cabinet short to run a shorter marquee...or fit it into a moving truck I guess.
I'm not much of a wood worker but I had some particle board lying around, so I drew out some "wings" for the top based on the edges I already had and whipped up a new top for it.
