Janky Street Fighter cab restore sort of...

<< < (2/26) > >>

Mike A:
I drilled carriage bolt holes smaller than the square shoulder and then filed the holes to shape and size.

Mike A:
Then I gave it a basic rattle can paint job to protect the steel.

The nozzle leaked globs. That is what I get for letting paint sit around forever.

But it is good enough to be eventually covered with a CPO.



If you are paying attention you can see where I ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up a couple of the carriage bolt holes. It was a learning process.

Mike A:
That was all a couple of weeks ago.

This last weekend I flew out to Arroyo's place.

That is a whole other adventure.

While I was out there he did some Photoshop work for me and gave me a tutorial... (a photoshop tutorial).

When I got home I laid my vector layout file on top of his Photoshop work.

Then I moved the elements around to match my cp.



I had to make a phone call for additional help from Arroyo.

Once that was all sorted I printed it out actual size in super low fidelity and no color.



that way I could match it up to the real CP before it goes off to the printer.

It still needs to be spruced up a bit, but it is almost ready to get printed.

I will post a final pic of the CPO in full color before it goes to the printer.

And that brings you up to date.

yotsuya:
Nice job. I miss the access I had to a plasma CNC. I made tons of custom metal pieces.
