Suggestions on my design

There's an antique store near my house that has tons of old hubcaps, hood ornaments, mirrors, etc from that period. really cool stuff for the right cab. Wouldn't work on mine though, even brass plated :D

Yes!!! I need to go back and integrate some chrome into the design, especially to match the Rock-Ola!

Coool! it's always nice to see I've inspired someone. Some nice lines, the marquee design actually made me think of the bubble top on the robot from Lost In Space. I never could work in a satisfying marquee on my cab because no shape seemed to work well with the hemisphere below it. On your design however that part works. I agree with most comments so far, you will need to consider the functional side of the design and allow for comfortable game play. Looking forward to the revision, I might play with the shapes a bit myself in the old renderscope ;D

Add some Wurlitzer glass bubble tubing - will complement the Rock-Ola jukebox. ;D

Sadly the Rock-Ola doesn't have any bubblers. Here's a couple pics. I was thinking of, as cheap as it sounds, getting some plastic corner protectors, heat it and bend to the curved portion and then paint it chrome. If anyone has any chrome suggestions I'd love to hear them as I'm not real thrilled with doing it that way.

Ok, here's the partially revised design. The steering wheel isn't shown while I figure out a mechanism for it. You can see the new controls on the left while the ones on the right are still in the original location.
