We have been helping Stu move along his one of a kind custom Flash Vs Arrow conversion for many months by sanding and fixing an old Dolly Parton Playfield and followed his excitement as the project progressed. When it all finally came together he absolutely blew me away. All we did was the manual labor of the PF, glass and the printing and cutting of the plastics. Stu went to some very sick and rather outrageous lengths in his customization. Powder coated PF mechs, spinner mounts, and even custom colored nuts!! It just goes on and on, every time I look at the pictures I see another level of custom that I just didn't notice the first time around. Just noticed color coordinated pop bumper rings!! Jetsy's restored Harlem Globe Trotters he showed me years ago was the craziest thing I had ever seen until now. Sorry, Jetsy, this is just to another level. lol

The level of customization is just plain nuts, the pictures show the artwork and colored rubbers, nuts, mounts etc but there are even operational and electrical mods. I'm not sure Stu won't kill me for sharing but I just had to. Its really worth looking at.

Keep in mind this is his personal machine and its not for sale and we or he has no intention of making this to sell. He is also working on another custom machine that will probably blow me away again. But that's something for the future.

If I get some time maybe I'll put together something on our web page with all the photos but we are swamped with just getting parts out to you guys.

Just Blown away!

Just Freakin' Awesome! The attention to detail is outstanding. I bet that with the clear-coated playfield that this game is Fast now and with all the graphics and updated starburst inserts it must be a really fun game to play....From Dolly Parton to This is incredible. Can't wait to see the next conversion from Stu.....

I’ve been lucky enough to see this game come to fruition from the start of artwork designs all the way through to the finished product. Pics do not due justice all that STU has put into this game especially the amount of detail in the artwork and customization. The inserts of the character faces and their detail that you can see when they are lit up are simply amazing. To see the level of detail and artwork crispness at player position looking to the top of the playfield 4 feet away was very impressive. Now onto playing the game was another wow factor, the speed on the game made for a brutal experience. My 5 ball game lasted a mere minute or two. Who would’ve ever thought this was a Dolly Parton. Awesome job doesn’t begin to describe. What STU has up his sleeve for future customizations, you think this is good? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Any hints on what your next conversion is?

This is probably the best re-theme ever to be done. Incredible detail on every level. Having done a few restores, I can’t imagine how much work it was to create something to this level of detail. Awesome job Stu!

This is the first I've seen of the results. Stu has been talking about it for a while with me because he wanted a custom Xpin 7volution set for the game, being that the Dolly Parton was a 6 digit scoring. With the native green and red that I had this looks insane! I can hardly wait to see his next projects. I am glad Xpin has been involved. Looking at this is incredible!
