How long did it take you to build your cab?
rackoon:
I have been working on mine for at least a year now. Actually, I started collecting parts before that. But I only work on it a few hours a week. I do it as a hobby though. For example, this week I will draw and cut the end caps for my third panel on my cocktail cab. Heck, even these need to be fine sanded and slot cut for T-molding. Ill be bummed and stoked when its done. Who knows how long cutting all the diamond plate will take?
Even after the cab is built the stereo system will need to be installed, the coin door will need sanding and painting. Over 100 UV LED hooked up, and don't even get me started about the custom artwork I have that needs to be turned into a bezel. :blah:
YET, I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME DOING IT! :cheers:

That's the whole point.... I took over a year building my first cab, and it's a bit like frankenstien, in that the parts keep beeing changed and improved. I've just finish my actual CP. I've had a temporary one on there for over six months.
But the point is that it's fun to build things.... It doesn't matter how long it takes.

Between collecting parts and actually working...almost a year. Actually work time...I dunno. If I was able to stay completely dedicated...and had all my parts together...it would probably take me 3-4 weeks.
