Excellent work once again Daniel  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^
The cab looks Fantastic.
Yet another inspiration for me to pull my finger out and repaint my Lady Luck cab (how many more do I need  &^&)
I'm thoroughly enjoying watching the transformation of this old Girl.


I need more room ! and more $$$

I also have a question for anyone who might know.

 With the coin door stripped im unsure if the base color should be white or yellow.   Im in two minds i think it should be white with the blue as white is the only color missing from the front of the cabinet?????

What do you all think?
