Gamesomnia - inspired by Knievel's Woody Cab

I am playing catch up on progress here. I might get final assembly done tonight. It matters how long it will take to wire everything though. So, several posts ...
This group of 5 pictures shows the trim pieces before installation into the cabinet and some pictures of them installed in the cabinet. I used a combination of 2x2s and L brackets to get everything in place. In some pictures, I included yellow arrows to show the new trim pieces. There is also a piece not highlighted that goes near the kick area. It is located behind the door on the bottom when the door is shut.

The first picture here shows how I held the door in place for install with no helpers available. I used some clamps to make sure the door did not fall forward. They help the door stay closed but not so that I could not move it around. I just did not want it to flop forward and get dinged. Also, I used some 2x4s to hold the door off the ground. That gives me a good 1.5" of clearance when I open the door. The rear panel is actually 3 pieces that can be removed based on the area I need to access. So, I removed the lower panel, climbed inside and screwed the hinges to the side of the cabinet. Also, I used some scrap luan to shim the door forward a bit. In hindsight,I I don't know if that was needed.
The second picture is just of the door installed.
The last 2 pictures are some shot of the cab in it's current state. It's coming together!

Pictures of the CP including a picture on how to prep the T molding to go around tight corners. If you have never done it before, let me tell you, it is very easy to do. This is my first time and it came out perfect.

I know, this is getting very exciting. In about half an hour, that cabinet is coming home to get wired up. Any bets on how long wiring will take? My bet is 2 hours. Which means it really will take 4 hours, right? ;D
