Lockdown bar and receiver came up well Mike. Making fast progress.  Can’t wait to see you flipping on that Kruzman! Inside cab looks great too. 

Thanks Scott. Yeah it’s moving quite smoothly. Touch wood. Waiting on a bunch of parts deliveries now.  Crap, I called the receiver a lockdown bar. Better fix that post, haha.

More and more parts ready. Only flippers, shooter, subway and trough to go. 

Might be a few quiet days now as I wait for a bunch of parts to arrive.

It’s a pain waiting on parts when you are in the zone. Hope they don’t take too long. The clear looks really good Mike. I cleared my IJ resto years ago inside and out. It came up a treat even though I had a few tell me it’s a waste of time. I liked the glossy look and the decals went on really good. Dry method first try. I’m going to have to find an excuse to be just around the corner when you’ve finished 🤦‍♂️😂 if we ever get out of lockdown that is!

That shine on the IJ backbox looks amazing. The side artwork sort of lets it down in comparision to the backbox. Anyone tried clearing over the cabinet artwork?. I suspect the colours may run if the wrong clear was applied but if it was achived, I think it would looks stunning.

The IJ looks stunning. I have gone for a light clear on the inside rather than the deep deep gloss, mainly because I don’t think I can apply well enough to get the mirror flatness, but also because it’s a work area rather than 100% display. 
I can’t describe the joy of working in a fresh, fully painted cabinet, but I don’t want to be afraid of knocking the walls either.

New full set of CPR plastics.

I guess we have to be glad that someone is doing this, and they are beautifully made. 

But...

They can't seem to get the font sharp enough.

And I can't use two of these to average out to straight. Original on top for comparison. This is going to be hard to live with. #firstworldproblems.
