So after to picking up this old Chase HQ cab  i thought i could restore it,i soon revised my idea it was to much work
to get this woodwork even close to ship,Also i would be limted to one game

So i thought id build my own version It's basically restore/rework of the cab I picked up but i want o make my own
new version along with artwork
HERE WE GO

I'm cloning piece by piece so let take the can apart


Side off


Quick sketch


Both sides cut at once


Not a bad match


Some of the others panels like coin door



It fits


The original back door is 2mm to big due to my cuts bit allowing for the saw blade
So I used my router to match other pieces




Test for the wheel


Old and new side by side


Not bad for a afternoons work

I then dropped the pedals off to a friend that has a polishing wheel and I think they came up pretty nice

Before



After






I painted all the wood parts even though I'm add art work it's good to seal the wood




I cleaned up the rusty coin door and and back brace





And all stacked up



This stuff is great






Out with the old






And after a lot of work I finally got the original artwork off off and all the sticky glue



Polished these catches


Cut the slot for the T Molding
And did a test fit with a spare piece I have
 



All about that base
Bought some wood for the bottom of the machine ( I'll paint later)











 






Wheel man
so after researching my options for using the original wheel works out to expensive to buy a  optipac board £30 and after setting it up I would be limited for options

So I glanced on gumtree and picked up this bargain locale to me a Logitech g force steering wheel for £20



So I stripped the original wheel down and boxed it up




I open up my new wheel to see how to mount it onto the old control panel
 

I'm sure I'll figure a way


Now to try and use the original pedal
The original pedals use a 30k variable resistor so I thought I was doomed until I played around and found the new one swapped perfectly

Old



New




The brake isn't a simple swap out I think I'll use the original on/off microswitch 
And find a way to connect it to the wheel



I sprayed the control panel and did a loose test fit

MrThunderwing:
Looks promising! I like your idea of cloning it piece by piece.

Brian74:
Sweetness!  :cheers: I have a mini outrun I should do this to!

monkeychunkuk:
thanks for the feed back little progress fitted the glass to get an idea of monitor mounting position and a test fit of a few bits








now a few questions do i go with?

Chrome T-molding and carbon fibre control panel ?
Red T-molding and carbon fibre control panel?
or black Chrome T-molding and custom artwork control panel?




and do i add guns to this cab?

Custom cp would be slick if you arent on a budget. Think you need something to break up all the black.  :dunno
