Newbury, OH
Very nice!!!! I'm about to embark on the same journey.
Where did you get the cabinet decals from? How was the quality? Did you do the dry method?

Phoenix arcade has high quality, true silkscreened ones. I use the dry method with tape hinge method on my restore in progress ( https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/afm-restore-alien-invasion). Never an issue **knocks on wood**. Looks great so far op.

I really like the colors you picked for the LED's, this game rocks LEDs and I like this one. Great choice to black it out-
This is very close to my WIP AFM restore - only 18months and counting 
What LEDs did you use for the GI? Think i can see some UV in there...?
I couldn't afford the reclear on the Mirco, but i did replace the Red Ramps' flaps with the Pinbits steel ones. Used Red mirror Blades instead of Black. LED OCD in there with Comet Leds. The city backboard instead of the space version.
REALLY like the custom pop bumpers - good contrast to the Red ramps! What parts did you use?
You've tempted me to getting the rails powder-coated now... All other metal work is now black too.

I'm pretty sure the caps came off tmnt, I ordered them from marcos, and took the belt sander to them because the lip was way to long 
Nice work Tdiddy!
Quoted from tdiddy:
sanding and painting, oh what fun
You think so? You can help me sand my jobs whenever you want!
Looks awesome tdiddy! My interactive Stroke of Luck hole light would be some more icing on the cake. Stop by and see me at the Cleveland Pinball Show in a few weeks.
