I picked this cabinet up gutted for 75 bux....I was thinking about just ,,, well not doing this cab because
being a racing cab it really had no place to mount a standard arcade stick.
sooooo i started mocking it up.. as seen here.

I got a cabinet maker cutting wood and making an exact fit piece to box in the front and hold the stick on the top.
Im gonna try and make the paint match the cabinet somehowe space you see about where the stick should go is getting a honda dash cluster (Lights working)  and stereo with ipod dock.

i normally just stick this shit in it for a quick 5000 game hookup

Im using the xarcade stick i have laying around for the controls.
