Cutting a Pac-Man Cab into a Ms. Pac?

(1/3) > >>

Alright, First off I hope this isn't sacrilidge, doing a conversion like this, responses i receive will definitely affect what i do...

I want to take my (already converted to Arkanoid) Pac-Man /Galaxian cabinet and convert it into a Ms. Pac / Galaga Cabinet by cutting off some of the front.  My reasons are:

1. The cab is already beat up and the art destroyed. 
2. Galaga is the flavor of the month, and i got all of the artwork for a song.
3. I can't stand the thought of going through a deconversion that even a layman can recognize as a pac conversion. 

Is this possible?  are the cabinets otherwise identical?  am i insane?

RayB:
I don't understand what you'd be cutting off. Weren't both cabs the same other than a few minor things like location of control panel bolting, etc?

Quarters:
I presume he means to cut the top front of the cab into the (lady-like) curve pictured below.

I say go for it Converted pacs are everywhere.

The profiles are different.  They are similar, but far from the same.

Kevin Mullins:
I think there are some other suttle differences also.
Check out http://www.jakobud.com/ and compare the two.
I don't know how "perfect" his plans are, but they look good to me.
I'd lay it out on your cab and see if everything will fit to the specs.

I figure if you can mod it and it be an exact reproduction of the Ms. Pac then go for it.
If not...then I'd just leave it alone. IMO
