From the first moment I saw the design of the Vigolix, I knew I had to do one for my own.
I'm using mdf half inch.
Change some of the measures to be able to use Lorenzo joysticks, two players at the same time and put a back flip.
The mdf cut into sections of 35 cm for the sides and 55 cm for the front and back.

Well today I finished almost the assembly of the mini. So it only remains to decide the layout, paint, and assemble the "guts".
Cut the sides to the board and place. This in order that the board remains the same width as the sides and cover the mdf joints :

The board' is a little low for the acrylic does not stick:

I put a couple of leftover pieces under the dash to help not binding:

I make a couple of holes, the middle is for wiring jamma and the two largest for video and power cables from the monitor:

For the moment let the mini stand by, other pieces arriving need to terminate it.
