Flush mount trackball

<< < (4/5) > >>

ARTIFACT:
very nice! I want to do the same :)

any advice to give, beside what's already posted above in this thread?

Lakersfan:
Wow! It does look nice. Did you decide to use the spackle to fill in the gaps? Did you smooth it over the mount or just fill in around the edges?

Again, looks really nice. You should be proud!!

GameOver:
Thanks!  I did buy some auto body filler (bondo) but decided not to use it.  I did not put any type of 'filler' over my trackball mounting plate.  You can't tell atm, but I'm wondering if over time it will show.  But for now it's smooth as a baby's bottom!  I think the heavy duty CPO has a lot to do with that, it hides any bumps like on the trackball mounting plate.  I'm sure the right thing to do is to use some type of filler I just didn't have the patience for it this weekend.

Other advice?  YES!  MAKE SURE THE MOUINTING HOLE FOR YOUR TRACKBALL IS BIG ENOUGH BEFORE PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER!   :D  I had to come back with a router after everything was put together to get my t-ball casing to fit...I thought it did when I first made the cut but I ddin't push it all the way in...and well there were two little 'lips' on either end that I needed to make an adjustment for.  doh!

Hey thanks tophatne1!  But...I only re-did my CP, I already had built the cab.  I had bought replacement art (marquee, bezel, side art and CPO) and the last piece was the CP.  I wanted to change a couple things on my CP so I saved that for last.  Click on the earth (web link) under my avatar to see my cab, but those pics are BEFORE I swapped the art.  I'll put some new pics up soon, and thanks for the compliment!

edit: added pic to show full art, props to mamemarquees.com!  t-molding not finished!   :)
