The glass slides up behind the speaker panel and then the bottom drops into a slot routed in the top of the admin panel. I use 1/4" thick glass so it's heavy and won't go anywhere.  :)

With nothing "holding" the glass, do you get any rattle?  I used this design on my driving cab, but with all the vibration built in (subwoofers, base shaker, and rumblers), it buzzed worse than a hive of  bees.  I ended up putting in felt at the top and a pressure plate at the bottom. 

Regarding concerns of the thin cabs not looking right... To some, these cabs are nostalgic recreations; to others they are art;  to others they are furnature; to others they are just the structure that hold their gaming components together.  To each his own. 

Nice job on this one, can't wait to read about your next.

I can never see too many pics of your builds...

Bartman:
That is one awesome cabinet!  Very impressive.  Do you do your own control panel art?  If so, what are using to design it?

Knievel:

Thanks, the CPO was done in Photoshop.

I did everything but the background, that one is from the Arcade Art Library.

Never had any rattling but then again I'm not running all that stuff.
I route the bottom slot so that when the posterboard bezel and glass are pushed in they are tight.

I'll be posting a crazy project soon.. ;)
