I'm with you, Kajoq - I have a 66 mustang that *normally* consumes my free time but lately that time has gone to finally finishing the mame cab, at the request of the wife.

Another hobby that I really enjoy that has applications with cabinet builds and many others is metalworking. My centipede cab's original panel was metal, so I figured I'd build a mame cp with metal. It's fun and rewarding, but time consuming unless you have the $ to spend on expensive metalworking tools.
