TRON - A Dedicated Maming (Finished)
BUCKETHEAD:
Next i decided to sand down the whole cabinet and bondo all the rough spots,
Broken corners and screw holes from the bracing.
And of course, The mysterious 2 extra button holes ??? in the front.
BUCKETHEAD:
Here is what i call the BONDO era.
I hate to see any cabinet that has been thru a beating in it"s lifetime.
But the bondo phase is one of my favorite parts.
Reshaping corners and such!
Usually if a corner is missing? I will, Make a template from the other corner.
And work with that, To rebuild the missing one.
BUCKETHEAD:
Ok, So now with all the Bondo completed.
Time to move to the priming phase,
I also use PRO FORM joint compound to fill in all the minor dings and blemishes.
Stuff works great !
Namco:
Wow. You work quick my friend! I think you should let that bondo and primer dry before you start painting, I mean it's been an hour since your fist post on this. ;D
Just kidding. It's going along fabulously. I wish I spent more time on this phase of my cab and used bondo. I still have a corner that can use that treatment.
Just wondering though why you didn't use any locking caster wheels? The tron stick gives you a lot of leverage and that thing is going to move around on you while you're trying to beat the MCP program to get into the I/O tower. :D

Once i get it in the house in my gameroom, The carpet is kinda thick.
Trust me, It will not move. My PAC-MAN and GALAGA have the same casters.
They don't budge on the carpet.
I have many more pics to post. Just got to round'em up.
Im not done with the machine, But im getting closer! :)
