You didn't paint the edges of the cabinet black before you put the sticker on?

Yeah I should have. But again, I have no time. When one is trying to do a full restoration in 3.5 weeks, concessions have to be made.

I tested the t-molding on it and it痴 not noticeable. The t-molding is yellow.

Looks great Opt, glad to hear the artwork print came out good.  This is breakneck speed, I知 impressed.
opt2not:
Thanks for the suggestion, Arroyo.  :cheers:
Szabo's prints are fantastic. The fact that he had the proper 4p cabinet side-art just shows his commitment to authenticity over the rest. I'll definitely use him again for future prints.

Tonight I'm going to tackle the Control Panel. Hopefully I can get it completely wired up and ready for Friday's delivery of the new joysticks and buttons. Looking to do a simple swap then.

This has definitely been a breakneck project. I've been averaging 3am sleep-times every night, trying to squeeze in as many hours as I can after dad duties are complete.  I regularly start working on the cabinet between 10:30pm - 11pm, and peter-out by 3.  Plus, if I need to run power tools, I only have a 30 min window before it gets into 'noise violation' territory at night. Last thing I wanna do is piss off the neighbours being a new resident of the neighbourhood.

I知 in the same boat, I get 30-45min a night during the week before I知 in HOA territory.

I almost always wear a respirator when working, and often I値l open the garage to dump something on the side yard.  I知 surprised the cops haven稚 been to my place already as I知 pretty sure it looks like I知 cooking meth.
