Well, this part of the board has been dead lately, so I thought I'd post my project.

I didn't notice this before.  I look forward to seeing the finished CP!

Thanks!

My father in law helped me out a lot on the last trip down to see them.  It's "complete" except I screwed up.  Not having the cabinet in front of us I had to go by the original CP which I brought with us, and I forgot one very important measurement.

It's not a huge deal, I just have to remake a single piece of wood for it.

I'll have to make some modifications to the panel before installing it.  I neglected the part that actually attaches to the cab.  Go figure.  I thought about it while building, but never did anything about it.

Ah well, the cab is at least in a playable state now.

Wow...I was just going thru old posts and found this.  It's been two years, and this POS still isn't done.  At least I'm closing in.  Kinda.

I love Moon Patrol. Played it a lot when I was a kid. Amazing that such a simple game was amazingly super in those days. I remember I was blown away about how the wheels followed the terrain  ::)

I just bought an old MP marquee. It looks so cool (has a few scratches though).
