Well hopefully I can give it one more.

Thanks, the funny thing is I was not planning on restoring it but the more I looked at it I just knew it had to be done.

i hear a lot about citrus strip for removing paint,dont know if you heard or read about it but,they recon its good stuuff.perhaps it might become your best mate at stripping the paint to see what you got under it.if its laminated can you not buy and replace.remove the old laminate (would probably be a pain) but,it will give you the better finished product.i have grown to locve laminate over paint.
Spyridon:
Lot's of discussions on this topic, but I believe the consensus was that it is a baked on enamel and not a laminate on the original cab. As stated above, you can try Citristrip to remove the black paint.

Wow brutal how they just crammed the Mortal Kombat marquee in their even though it was short by a letter.
This is a fantastic restoration candidate...good luck!

I keep looking at this and wondering what have I gotten myself into, and then the UPS man came. My first box, it was like Christmas day.
Here is the new bezel
And the new marquee. Attached is the bezel instruction sticker and coin instruction sticker.
I just couldn't resist
I also got the top marquee bracket which looks nice. They were very kind enough to send me a sample of the 9/16” flat white T-molding. I said it was 9/16” centered but they kept saying get the 5/8” off centered due to the overhang. The 9/16” looks perfect on the cab so that will be another order.
