Getting a trashed/gutted Defender cab next weekend. . .
« on: September 11, 2009, 01:21:02 am »
Planning to put my Defender back all original and clean up/finish the bombed out cab for Mame.  I'll likely restore it back to being exactly Defender artwork, etc.  Need to clean out the garage! :)

Do you live in Iowa by any chance?  I've missed out on two Craigslist gutted Defenders recently.  Hoping they went to a good home.

Really like to do something like this eventually:

I'm in Seattle. . picking it up in Portland, so I didn't deny you something cool. :)

Thanks for posting that link!  That is a very interesting/useful thread. :)

I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet.  I may get an artist friend from work to design something that is like a retro version of one of the games that I work on that I can stencil on the side like Defender. . not sure yet.
