Here you'll see the side being painted, the control panel being assembled and a few other misc things. It's all starting to come together and I just found out that we're gonna move it on Saturday. So that means I can do any last minute touches on Friday night. But I should have the paint don by Wednesday at the latest to allow ample cure time.

Haven't even posted this on the BYOAC boards yet. But, thought you all might get a kick out of it.
I wired the control panel into the cab tonight and hooked up the coin door and a couple misc buttons. Then I cut the Plexiglas and the monitor surround and got that mounted into place. Then I finally was able to put the t molding on the edges. Now all that is left is to stencil the side art on, mount the speaker box and mount the PC and she's done!

Ha, after this one, I need to find the funds to finish my Centipede bartop and finish that finally. Its going on 3 years since I started it.

Ha the amount of time and work in making a replica of that, you'd be better off getting one shipped from Japan.

This might be the ugliest arcade cab I've ever seen.

While I will agree that isnt the most visually appealing arcade, I must have one!!! That would be my holy grail of Dragon Quest collecting.
I just wouldnt be able to read the thing.

Finished it... kind of. I may have screwed up the PC for it and it is currently running on my PC from the SHMUP. Which means I am without a mame cab until the PC for the Retrotron is fixed/set up.
