Quick update on progress:
-Basic bases built
-Stands built
-Heads built
-Seats are here, working on mounting them
-Monitors are here, working on mounting them
-casters and levels are installed on each base (4 each), debating on adding center casters and levels
Its all just pocket hole screwed together right now. Its stable, but needs more bracing. The horizontal monitor mount will add a lot, but I need more vertical stability. The twin topper is heavy, and I want it to be stable. So that's on the to do list. I'll probably pull them apart (unscrew) when I'm ready to cut the t-molding channels, then glue them up on re-assembly. May even biscuit join them like I did on my first cabinet.
I also picked up a set of Daytona 2 almost complete control panels for $20 each - so I've got all the VR buttons and plastic dash. One is cracked pretty bad, but I can bondo/fiberglass it. I'm not sure I'm even going to use them - but they were so cheap grabbed them just in case. Also grabbed an over-under coin door to build the coin box that goes in between the two cabinets and joins them.
As far as I can tell, they're pretty close to dimension-ally accurate of 'real' Daytona wood cabinets, accept I made the inner width of each 'head' 30" wide instead of 29" wide to give just a little more wiggle room for the 32" LCDs.
And lastly, within seconds of pulling the plastic off one of the seats and putting it on the seat base, one of my cats decided it was now her happy place.
