Generic Eric:
Fix 'em up, then flip the other. You have a good plan.
If it will hold up, I say to take the outsides of both off (clone/copy the side), make one complete-ish unit, sell that one (include the monitor with the burn in.) On your new bare sided unit, do your custom art on your cloned/copied side pieces. Have fun. What a fantastic conundrum to have!
On a side note, can you network these in an emulator?
BadMouth:
I'd see what 3D emulators the ArcadeVGA can handle before going too far down that path.
A driving cab that only runs MAME is a waste.
Model 2 is a prerequisite. I'm sure the ArcadeVGA can handle that.
But if it can't handle Supermodel, you're giving up Scud Race and Daytona 2.
If it can't handle Demul (modern versions require directx11), then no Crazy Taxi.
I guess you could still run the PC version.

Read the model 2 setup guide stickied at the top of this forum.
SailorSat also has a version of MAME that supports networking Virtua Racing.

I will very much likely split them up no matter the answer, while fun to play against someone I don't think it's necessary. Were these ever out in the wild as a single unit? The game menu has a stand alone setting and I know the stand-up versions were onesies.

A big reason my new driving cabs were never completed is that I had to buy two of everything and make everything twice.
If it had only been one, I'd have a new driving cab to play.
I see no issue with splitting them up.

Agreed on MAME being a waste if it's only that. This brings up a great point tho, has anyone run multiple graphics cards? In other words do I gain by going from a high end 3-D graphics card through an arcade VGA to get me down to the right refresh rate? Or do I just introduce all kinds of lag and other issues.
Would it be easier to change the monitor and introduce a 24khz to vga adapter between the Sega hardware and the monitor?
Also, as I've been cruising pictures of these cabs it seems there are all kinds of variations out there. White sides, orange seats, red seats, blue seats, orange t-molding, plastic raised relief sides with no t-molding (very sharp). Built in marquees on single units, bolt on marquees, no marquees. It pretty much runs the gamut. I'm thinking of getting one "passable" and sending it on it's merry way but on the keeper I want to add some color - those orange backed seats are sharp. Sides might get a facelift too but I'm very partial to that orange and the original art.
pbj:
That game is still fun and I still see people playing them. Not bad, Sega.
