Heh, yeah, I love this project. Wish I could get myself to work on one project at a time like this.

Not yet. I just haven't had the time, but it should be coming soon.

Well, it was actually two projects as I was working on Pac-man at the same time.
Spyridon:
Okay, got the side art put on yesterday.
Taped the full sheet in place and then peeled back half of it.
Cut off the backing and then using a squeegee pressed it into place a few inches at a time. Then repeat for the other half
Here is the full sheet in place
Next I removed the premask and trimmed the vinly to size using a new blade in an exacto knife.
And that's when I found a problem. There was a hole in the vinly about the size of a quarter. The premask was not cut so this happened before the final product was shipped.
I'm going to contact the place this was purchased at and see what they can do for me.
Other than that issue, it looks great.
Right side
Left side
Just need to get the t-molding on to finish it up
Spyridon:
I contacted the manufacturer of the side art, and he agreed to split a set and sell me just the right side. He has a 7 day return policy, so I'm way beyond that. It will cost me another $50 if I want to replace that side. I need to think on that one before I purchase.
