Looks awesome. 

Are you going to send your mate Sam a pic of the machine when it is finished?

That's come up beautifully, looks like money well spent to preserve the signature.

Ummm Okaaay.  %.%

It's been a bit of an on going joke guys. To say Sam J Jones thought I was a bit odd asking me to sign a pinball apron is an understatement. Anyway, I got it!  $#$

Another update, the worlds longest restoration is slowly getting there.
I can't take any credit for this but my joiner has done a great job.

Old cab and new.


The next pics aren't great as the cab is sitting in the back of my car ready for a trip to Geelong tomorrow but you get the idea.

Inside


All joints are as per the original

Sorry, that last pic was really crap, it'd be great if I could take a decent picture.  %.%

Not much I can say here, the pictures speak for themselves and this is probably an understatement but, awesome work by Tim and Stuart at Hot Rodded Pins. Tim was kind enough to send me some pictures last night to share. The clear had been done in these photos, this will tone down to a Satin finish when dry.





Very very happy, I can't wait to pick it up and get it all back together.

I bags not being there when someone puts the first mark on it. 

The cabinet looks sensational.  As I have been saying all along, it is going to be a sensational machine when it is finished.  Adam you will have to send a heap of pics into the IPDB and get them on the FG page.  It will be very very hard to top this one.
