* Cab completely built and working. Been gaming on it for months now and it's pretty awesome. Vertical LCD and CPO has RGB everything.
* Custom artwork by Opt2Not is complete (AMAZING) and has been delivered though I have yet to send it to the printer. Working with this guy was such a pleasure. So prossional, skilled, creative.
* User Mike Boss is building a custom MaLa layout for me and he's incorporated some of the custom art from Opt2Not. I've seen a preview and she's a beaut!
* T-mold is here and ready for install after the artwork application.Otherwise it's ready to go. Hope to have the finish product pics posted soon.
Thanks again to OND for the inspiration to jump in and learn this stuff. I'm already thinking about another cab with a horizontal CRT w/ custom Metal Slug theme, assuming that Opt2Not will work with me again. And thanks to everyone else that has contributed to this thread and to the forum in general. I certainly couldn't have done it with you'se guys.

I really wish Gern posted his end result.
The artwork turned out really great, and would have loved to see it applied to his cabinet.
But he hasn't logged in since 2016...

Seriously nice work here. Would have loved too see it on the cab as well.

Measuring the full widths of top and bottom
Top: 10 5/32:

Bottom: 10 1/32:

This is what you meant, correct? Thanks so much.

Ok I drew out the side profile in a CAD program and did some math. With the front 3.15625", back 4", bottom 10.03125", the top works out to be 10.0667" but the plans show 10.15625. He was most likely rounding to the nearest 1/32" when he posted measurements because you can't cut more accurate than that unless it's CNC. So the plans have the top about 0.08955" longer...times 32 is ~2.86. So that's just over a 1/16" longer than it needs to be. At this point I would just use a hand held belt sander and sand that top board back down flat with the back panel.

You are a legend! I thought I was taking "crazy" pills and I owe you for solving this puzzle.
So the correct "top" width should be 10.0667" which rounded to the nearest metric I should use 10.0625 (1/16th). Correct?

Well now that you got that board lying there can't you just mark a pencil line underneath the lip and use that to cut it?
