Pix not working for me.

If they're small enough why not just upload them here?

Most real arcade games had hinged control panels as well, unless I've just only seen ones with them.  

What do you use to attach your CP? I've seen people say velcro and the like don't hold up very well.

The cab looks great OP, keep us posted.

Some did, alot didn't. The reason most did not was so that technicians can just unhook them, take the whole panel to their workbench and do the work, then bring it back and re-attach it. No fuss no muss. (Another good reason to make all your wiring detachable via a molex plug).

The cab I'm converting has a hinged CP since it's all made of wood. I should probably change it to not-hinged, but that's extra work I don't absolutely need to do.
