    Gotta finish painting this all flat black, cut out my fresh lucite panels and mask/paint those, let it all dry, put back together then pretend it's 1983 again. Profit?

    • oh my, it has a real CRT. Perfect - I don't like builds which use LCDs.

      This is an original you're doing up, isn't it?

    • even has "G'N'R" carved into the side of it. hey, hard to say no to free. instead of a full restore, I'm blacking it out, replacing w fresh panels, t-edges.prophetone
