As you can see my hotrod has seen better days, the particle board is disintegrating and will cost much less to duplicate the shell.
Im converting it to a hinged top with closed bottom, like a mortal kombat console stick. So i can stash things in it
Note that the Hanaho Hotrod is actually measured weirdly not including the T molding, as these were made cheap as possible theres a lot of kerf room, and thus being a little bit sloppy with the jigsaw is ok 👌OR you can do like me and make it 24 inches without T-molding and build a neo geo 25 v2 around it
Ok so you'll need:
24 inch by 24 inch MDF "Handy Panel" at 3/4"
24 inch by 24 inch hard board (the thickness is your choice, its simply cosmetic)
Some hinges
Some screws
Notice the X arcade has the strange outward jutting corners so you can unplug it from the matching cab, we will not be copying this as this project is meant for people who "only have a jig saw and a drill" like myself.
Im going to add more later, the girlfriend wants help making dinner
