Also added some blue led strip to the back for mood lighting, and reprinted the inner art.
Hope to have this finished this weekend as long as the marquee arrives.

Took this as a clue that I needed to (finally) do the same thing myself, and I'm happy to say it is a MASSIVE improvement. I'll probably save the cold cathodes for bling on a future project, but the black light is so much better in my cab it isn't even funny.
RetroRik:
Excellent job Rocket. :applaud:
Gives me a push to crack on with my Tron CP build this weekend. :cheers:

So I am a bit embarrassed to bump this with all the other tron builds on at the moment, but the marquee arrived so i can now call this done.
Los Abrazos Rotos:
Looks brilliant :applaud:

So its been almost a year since this was finished so apologies for the self bump.
Having never been happy with the coin door, and then finding myself with some unexpected free time and also having an alternate coin door I decided to redo the front of the cab.
Due to the new coin door being narrower than the other I had to mount it on a panel that then gave me the opportunity to route out a slot and feed some ELglow wire along the edge.
Its hard to photograph but the blue edge really does have a tron feeling to it and is a lot more effective than the shots portray.
An encom logo made from some 1mm alu plate finished off this project for the second and hopefully last time.
Sorry for the low quality photgraphy, one day I will get a better camera.
Ps - ignore the dust! :) .
