Cosmetics are almost done. When putting it back together I realized I forgot to paint what I thought was the back side of this bracket. Turns out it is the front-side. I'll be painting that tonight.
It turns out 6-1/2 speakers will fit these cabinets just fine. On Friday night I accidentally shoved a screwdriver through the woofer of my $8 Amazon speaker. A Saturday morning run to Walmart fixed that problem. I haven't shopped for car stereo equipment in years and found it odd how few stores there are nowadays. Seems like back in the day you could go anywhere and pick up some speakers.
The blue of the tweeter/midrange was showing through to the Total Carnage logo so I used some speaker grill felt to hide it. I also use the felt to hide the hole where the 4" "tweeter" was originally.
This made me laugh while I was working. How many of you end up putting tools on another cabinet while you are working?
Here are some shots of the finished cabinet.
I'm real happy with it so far. Magic Eraser really is magic. I used it on the side-art and CPO. It really made the colors on the CPO pop. There was also a lot of paint overspray (from the previous owner) on the CPO and front of the CP. Magic Eraser took it right off.
The only issues I have left cosmetically are minor will have to wait until I have less projects in the que. The side-art pealing looks much worse with the rest of the cabinet done. I may need to take Malenko's suggestion at some point and clean up the edges. The glass bezel also has some scratches in it and I may possibly replace it at some point.
My next steps are to get the PCB situation squared around and install some Any Coin mechs so this bad boy can take some tokens!
