Naming this project pocket change because, well I'm going to do everything spending only pocket change. ???

Finaly had a day of so I got some work to my projects done. Would have liked to have gotten more done on my cabs but had other stuff to take care of as well. I stripped the black vinyl of the side and for the most part it came of easy.
My roomate smashed my coffee table (not on purpose,) and it needed a temporary top. I went and got a peice of mdf for it and covered it with some white vinyl I had laying around. I think it turned out alright. At any rate, I had an extra piece after that for fixing the damaged areas on the cab and won't count it as money spent out of my change jar budget.
Well, I got her on her side, cut the bottom off, hit it with a rabbit joint bit; also, I cut the extra piece and did the same. After glueing the piece and clamping it down, I drilled small pilot holes through the original ones and screwed it down. The board that the mobo and power supply mounted to was in there so tight that I wedged it in to put upward force on the side piece. Between the presher from the board, the clamps and the screws the gap closed nicely. I then applied some wood putty.

This thing needed to loose some fat. So more fun with the saw, I clamped my giude down, tripple checked everything and cut.
Finished getting all the vinyl off after removing many parts. The coin door/ mech is in pretty good shape and the cab came with a primal rage jamma board, Supposedly. I am a noob and don't know how to tell one jamma board from another. I can say this though, writen on the board in black marker it says robtrn.
I am realy liking the look of this thing now.
