NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 8 days left I hopped in the car today and ran over to Sun Plating to grab the parts I dropped off last week. $100 worth of plating on 14 pieces. Not bad I guess... except a few pieces had some flaking. Mike Chestnut they are not... but the bad areas would be mostly...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 9 days left Here I am in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, cataloguing photos taken Tuesday night and trying to gather up thoughts of what I did on Monday. Regardless, I'm down to single digits and the fun (or ordeal) is nearly done. With the cabinet ready I started...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 10 days left Wow! 10 days... it's about to get pretty real, and fast! Without further ado, Sunday was a huge day. Anyone living in the GTA knows that we were getting some gale force winds yesterday. Not good for my plans to finish spraying the cabinet in my backyard...

Well done Tim! Hijack away :) That 'dithering' or grainy colour as you described it is a byproduct of the screening process. Even high end restoration guys like Chris Hutchins don't have an answer for dealing with it. Most will just repaint the entire area with a smooth airbrush fade from one...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 11 days left Wen't to the church of the silver ball on Friday so I didn't spend much time doing anything on the project. Not much to do anyway... just waiting for the white paint to cure a bit longer before I finish up the red stencils on the main cab. Saturday wasn't...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 13 days left Home stretch... Today the main cabinet followed me to work. Another hectic lunch hour to apply 3 stencils and jump into the paint booth before the shop guys finished their lunch. I ran a little over but managed to get the white layer down. I came back at...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 14 days left TWO WEEKS!!! :eek::eek::eek: I had to take a day off Wednesday, but it was for a good cause. Got to meet another PBrev member, got to witness a bit of the Warlock/Brewmanager 'battle of the beef" and also got to pick up a Grand Lizard and bring the title...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 16 days left My last package arrived Monday! This included my repro metal players’ base (thanks Mike!) and a bunch of hardware. I decided that I would still have time to send this stuff out for plating so, in a panic, I also proceeded to strip the bat assembly and...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 17 days left As expected, Sunday was a pretty light day. With the weather so nice I was outside with the kids most of the morning and then we had Orthodox Easter dinner at my in-laws’. By the time we got home there was just enough time to whip the kids into bed and...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 18 days left With Orthodox Easter at my in-law's fast approaching, I wanted to make sure I got a lot done on Saturday. I let the head cabinet cure for a week before I would even attempt using adhesive stencils. With just 18 days to go, I knew that the lower cab had to...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 19 days left Friday... I always seem to be rushing around at the end of the week to ensure that I am preparing for a reasonably productive weekend. This usually means collecting everything I can from my shop at work and then loading up the car with stuff I can work on...

Welcome to PREV buddy! (AKA my custom metalwork saviour) :D I'm waiting on pins and needles for that package. Sorry, you're correct, I was having a lapse. 5/32" was the appropriate drill bit. Make sure to post in the "Introduce Yourself" thread too!

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 20 days left ALRIGHT!!! I'm 30 days in and I REALLY want to get this cabinet painting underway. My fear is that the vinyl masking material will damage my green basecoat and all this work will be for nothing and I won't have the game ready for Allentown. In order to...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 21 days left Chugging right along... Wednesday was just another day of small tasks. I tightened up the main cabinet with some new glue and pipe clamps. The corners were opening up and the wood was warping in a few spots. This will give me much tighter joints and make...

Hard to say exactly as it was done a while ago. I knew I would meet Mike at Expo that year so I shipped him my wireforms, shooter lane sword, magnet bracket, lockdown bar, head cabinet hinges, apron and shooter housing. He provided a new set of legs on his end to save shipping, as well as new...

It would be verrrrry boring.. trust me. Mostly me walking back and forth swearing and yelling "where did I put that ______?" Then again, if the Kardashians can do it.... ;) Sadly, my breasts are only half as impressive.

I might be in for this

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 22 days left BIG DAY!!! Well.. I didn't really do anything. However, I did drive over to a friend's place and collected a whack of parts. He was gracious enough to help me out with some shipping and procuring some really key pieces. What's in the box??? New glass...

NO SLEEP TILL A-TOWN!!! 23 days left I'm falling behind on my posts. Monday I was back hard at it sanding the main cab. I stayed a bit late and just motored through it. The next step will be to square up any more splitting edges and then bondo repairs for any missing wood before I start...

Very slick!
