You can't start a restoration thread with just pics of the control panel!  Let's see the whole cab.

Control panel repainted, and overlay applied + nice shiny new carriage bolts.

*I need an e clip so I can reinstall the joystick. Anybody holding? Size 1/4

Do you have a Fastenal where you live?

Irony of irony, after going to a store today and picking up a couple eclips, later I decided to clean out the crap in the bottom of my "new" Road Kings pin and what do I find? An e-clip, exact size too.

I put the e-clip there for you, Ray. :cheers:

Btw, Are you planning on getting stencils? I can't fine 'em anywhere.

You're psychic!
No, I will not bother with stenciling. I will either attempt hand touch-up of the front and sides so it's "good enough" or get a repro sticker for the front. That's as far as I want to go with this one. I have a feeling I will sell it one day, especially if I get my hands on a cabaret style Ms Pac.
