The Golden Ticket - Wonka cab (updated pics 04/22/07)
Thurman:
Once I got it sanded down and looking a little better, it was time to focus on the control panel. I decided to go with 2 Happs 49-ways with the GP-Wiz49. I like the longer throws and wanted to keep my joysticks versatile.
I built a demo control panel in order to test out the joystick and button layout. I'm glad I did this because I put the 2P buttons closer to the joystick and if I play on that side for more than about 15 minutes, my wrists get really sore from turning them outward. Also, I still need to get a trackball (I'd like to find a purple illuminated one) and I also need to design some artwork, but the basics are all there.
So now that I had a working control panel, it was time to set this up for some games!! Here's a few pictures from the first day I had it up and running in the garage. You can see that I still don't have the monitor mounted; it's just sitting in a shelf behind the cabinet. Plus I cut out the broken section of the front panel.

It was time to pretty up the cab. So I moved it inside for some painting and t-molding. I primed, sanded, painted, sanded, painted, then painted again.
Thurman:
And here's where it stands today. To be continued.......
