And the final thing i fitted was the lock that i got from ultracabs and Jack helped me fit it ( his only 9 months)
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/04/egugete5.jpg)
I fitted the lock because you don't want little fingers getting into the machine whilst its running

After these pics i fitted the final plexi glass and tidied the wiring and loaded it on my van ready to be taken to its new home.........

Wowser! Gotta love it :) The whole cab is just outstanding and then with this vid... Well, it just ties the whole cab together! ... Mind if I poach? Wouldn't mind this as an option for my cab down the line... Just getting to grips with hyperspin at the moment :) ... Still using a mix of MameUI / Mala whilst I figure everything out to my liking :)

Pinch away,man thanks for the feedback,if you need any help feel free to PM me

Thanks muchly! Vid has been poached, of course if anyone asks; you will get full credit :)
As for the cab, credit where credit is due; you've done some outstanding work there, and I love your side art! Hopefully mine should be here this time next week, so I can unveil it, but amongst other things, there is a partial tron aspect to it, so keep your eyes open for the arrival ;) Not sure if it'll be liked by others or not, but I *love* the work I've had done, so can but hope when it gets unveiled :)
I may well have to check back with you regards Hyperspin; out of interest; how did you build your games list? I've tried ROM Lister, but the output XML files don't seem to be readable with Hyperspin no matter what I do, and I definitely have the latest version; my test rig (not my actual box) is on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit edition, have a few test versions of mame as well as the latest (my actual build uses a really old version, as it has all the ROMs I want on it, but I'll update those with clr mame, or download the newer versions when I get all sorted).
Anyway; I'm hijacking here... so I'll shush!! Still love you build; One of my faves for artwork at the moment as well :)
anyway, I shall say: <end of line.> and finish the post ;) Have fun with your build :D Must admit; I've started playing on mine in between bits arriving, as I can't do work when I don't have stuff!!

You hi jack away ; ) you got me interested in your artwork cant wait to see the finished thing,i must not forget to credit Mike for the side artwork he did a grand job.

There are browse plugin's that will allow you to download from YouTube directly ;) Though; caution is advisable with those; as you never know which are full of adware... On the OS X & linux side of life; I use DownloadHelper, but it's useless for Windows boxes, though there are plenty of alternatives available :) :cheers:

Great stuff monkey, it's an excellent theme for the cab and although I'm not a fan of the chrome T molding usually, it looks great on this.

Many thanks,im still on the fence with Chrome T-molding i wonder whats everyones colour choice is

Personally, I like chrome t molding and my original plans were to use it on my cab. I had used it a few years ago on another cab. My only beef with chrome is that it mars kinda easily.
I needed a slightly larger size t molding for my cab so chrome was no longer an option. I ended up going with white ( on a black cabinet) and I love the way it looks.
