CP restoration

It took me a couple of weeks to muster up the nerve to destroy my old CP, but I'm glad I did.

After detaching all the buttons and sticks then peeling off the old vinyl I was disappointed to find there was a 1/16th" thick sheet of steel I'd also have to replace along with the lexar. I was able to use the same wood just by drilling new holes for the buttons. I got pretty lucky cutting the lexar too. I had a few pieces cut because I was sure I'd shatter or warp it while drilling, but I managed to get it on the first try! I'm still using the old buttons, but they work fine and replacing them in the future should be a breeze.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with the results.

It's abnormal, I know. But since it's already a conversion cab I went with what I thought looked most sexy.
