I'm going for the 80's rocker van look. You know, the black vinyl with the sewn-in diamond pattern, and a lot of shiny chrome. Something with a bed in the back.

My uncle used to wear a silk shirt that looked like that back in the late 70s.

I will have initial pics of the cab this weekend before I start stripping it down. And yes it will have 23K gold leafing and lots of brass nail work. I'm gonna replace the T-Molding with nailheads. I need to get some parts still including the bottom half of the coin door etc, but I should have plenty to start.

So if this cab is rockin', don't come a knockin'?

So I made a ton of progress and hit a brick wall at the same time this weekend. It's OK though - got way more done than I thought I would. Here is the Cabinet in the Garage in Tekken 3 Working condition.
The Cab was a Mortal Combat and converted to a Tekken 3. All side art was Mortal combat and front art was all Tekken 3.
Jpac installed and Mala on the front end. Thats where the snag came in. The AGP Arcade VGA card I got won't work with my dell so I'm in search of a replacement that will allow me to use Soft15K.
So it was strip time. Got it in the house and spent the weekend stripping off the graphics and getting her all prepped for leather.
Heres the Tekken 3
Managed to strip off all the graphics - Ordered everything else I need for the control panel. Its Big. The hides wont cover the sides in one piece so we will be getting creative. All the t-molding grooves are filled and just need a final sanding waiting to be wrapped.
The inside was nasty.
Thats all cleaned up too.
Check this out LOL
So I'll be looking for a card to run soft 15k - the rest of the buttons etc are coming as well.
It might be 2 weeks for more pics because of Halloween but I'll keep it updated as I go.
