Golden Tee Clubhouse Edition Conversion....Where to start?

[NeoFlynn]

Hey all,
I recently aquired a Golden Tee Clubhouse Edition cabinet with a non working monitor, my plan is to convert to a MAME cab the nice part is it looks like I can keep the Trackball and save some money there but my question is where should I start first....repaint the cab and do that part first or work on the control panel first...any suggestions on what would work best....thanks if you are curious what the cab looks like check out the last two posts on my website

thats a tiny cab. Also, people use the word epic too much.

The epic was more for my Youtube audience as most of my pick up vids are not nearly on that scale, and yes I understand people probably do use epic way to much, as for the size of the cab its not really that small its only an inch or two shorter than my Ms Pacman/galaga cab in the background of the video, and the control panel is what drew me to this cab as its a nice size already
