That's a great cab & a really good achievement....even better when you get the m/m panel fitted....
Btw....is it a 2-4 or 6 slot...?...the c/p is class & the hint of a euro cab is tops.
Good work!:buttrock:

Hey,

Thanks for all the positive feedback..First time I've ever posted and not been flamed..lol

Anyway its just a 1 slot...but soon to be upgraded to a four hopefully.

It was originally a high impact football machine when i purchased it...and it was in rough shape.

The c/p was made by my friend Electricgraves form the forum here. He made the original and brought it over and we both tweaked it.

Thanks again guys

It was an exciting project, we scrape the paint and everything else off, it was a lot of work, but it paid off quite well.

The CP was printed at KINKOS, and it was a pain in the butt, some old dude was kind of new at the whole thing and messed up the order we were there for like an hour doing the order, just the order AARRRGHH!

We did the CP and all logos in photoshop, the bezel was going to have a fade effect but the print was gonna be like 40 dollars, so we opted for a plastic rectangle that we cut to size, and worked great.

We're soon to do another one, perhaps South America style on blue, but with some fading effects, is going to be awsome.

That's just the rgb monitor that came with the Cab, it looks very good though, nice and sharp. I think he wants to get another monitor when there's some spare money, but we all know how it is.

On another subject, when I was doing the woodwork it was a pain to cut the angles exact, any Ideas on how to do this better, I just did the angles on a table saw. Also I didn't put T-molding on the edge since I didn't have the bit for it, but routed both sides of the panel for a round effect.

The measurements came out quite nice and fitted the buttons perfectly, however this was planned for competition buttons, but some jerk off at ebay selling Happs screwed the order, concave are nice though and they feel very comfortable.

I wish I had taken some pics of the whole project, I think the CP took the longest, since it was done from scratch, except for the metal bracket that which was the guide for all the angles.

We even color coded all the wiring to match the buttons P1 solid colors, and P2 Tracer colors.

Hopefully I can convince him of taking some better pictures.
