New Racing Cab
BzZziLLa:
Naturally, I would buy the one tv that isn't vesa. I would need a mounting adapter plate or just an older mount. Also, the weight of this TV is nearly 40lbs. So I'll have to build something a little more solid than I was originally anticipating. No biggie. Just minor nuisances.
Howard_Casto:
Nah man, you don't need a mounting plate. Just some 3/4 inch plywood and some 2x2's make a plywood wall the size of your opening and attach to the inner walls with 2x2 bracing. now drill your bolt hole pattern in the plywood and bolt directly to it. We used to use a similar method to hold up de-cased tvs, so I know it can handle the weight.
BzZziLLa:
Yea, you'll have to excuse my monday morningness. My original plan was to mount a lighter screen on a swivel arm (because i have one laying around). I was still kinda thinking along those lines and didn't fully read badmouth's post.
BzZziLLa:
Not much progress has been made this week on the cab itself. I've just basically been sanding, filling, and painting the areas on the cab that have been agitating me. I should be ready for a final coat tomorrow.

I have also been considering building a roll cage out of PVC and wrapping some of that plastic safety fencing over it.
The cage would look something like this:
