Welcome to the Innernets!
This reception is warm compared to the beating he would take over at KLOV or on RGVAC. :dunno

Or a mostly-working Star Wars !
;)
EDIT: Damn -- Spyridon beat me to it!

This would have been a much nicer thread to read if it had been made into a modern driving sim cab at least, but spray painting over sideart in good condition and cutting it open is just too much. That and cramming a monitor, computer and a PS3 in the poor thing while it's still dirty from many places. I mean, sweep it out, sand & prime, clean it up a little bit. Between the dirt, uneven black spray paint, fingerprints, holes badly cut into it, discolored wood, random brick-a-brack from around the house crammed in there it's just sad, man.
You could've just sat down in a lawn chair in a dark garage to the same effect. It certainly would be a more comfortable seat. But that's just my opinion, it's your cab and you can do what you want with it. I can't wait to see the dragon stickers stuck on there, find a good spot on the black primer where it's even.
EDIT: edited to not sound so vitriolic.

To be honest, when I saw that dragon image up there... I thought it looked kick ass.
Namco:
Eh, I wrote a pissy post sorry. But do yourself a favor and do it right. After you're done mocking it up, remove all the parts that you intend on keeping and scrub that thing clean, sand, strip, paint, replace worn rubber, add modern amenities, and get some good artwork. I'm sure it'll look great with laminate on it too, but not if there are still signs of age like rust and dirt. Build something you're proud of and take your time.

Ah... That perhaps throws some light as to why you did this. If you are young enough that your mom's opinion still influences you enough to make you paint your cab black then I would guess you are also young enough to not realize the significance of what you have permanently done to this cab.

I thought the use of, "LOL," five times in a single thread as of this posting was a dead give away.
Damn you, you just screwed up my averages.
