Day 14 involved my tackling the coin door and determining if I could fill the holes in the coin bezel. After asking on RGP and talking to a couple people I know, it became obvious that JB Weld was a suitable product to try and fill the holes in the coin bezel.

In order to make sure I hadn't missed any hardware, I reinstalled the coin door frame and a few other small bits, and looked at the entire door. Next, I disassembled the door, and separated the parts out as the harness needs cleaned, and all metal parts need repainted.

Bezel sanded and cleaned up prior to JB weld application. The tops of the holes were not smooth, and the instructions said to remove paint.

Hopefully, there won't be too much shrinkage and I can sand this down and do maybe 1 more application if there are low spots, then eventually sand and paint.

Do I tackle the 4 small holes in the door skin, or just let them be, remembering that the enemy of 'good' is 'better'...
