I'm building a KI 3 cabinet and I want it to match KI 1 and 2 machines.  The Jakobud site has plans for a Mortal Kombat cabinet but they're based on the earlier angular kickplate cabinet:

The later version of the Midway cabinet got the straight kickplate, and the same design was of course used on subsequent MK games, NBA Jam, Killer Instinct, and a few others:

Anyway if you own one of these 90s midway cabinets and could take a handful of measurements for me that would be super helpful! Thanks!

There are 2 members here that come to mind with MK/MK style cabs.  There is another guy in the restoration subforum did good work too.  Search the forum and try to reach out to them.
