Im doing a KISS right now. I started with a completely trashed machine and when its done about 80% wont be original parts. Its all done except for the playfield. I had a setback on that when my clearcoat decided to solvent pop and left it full of air bubbles. So back out to the garage and hope I can get all this clear off without damaging the art.
Here is a pic of my home built lower cab. The head is original but had a ton of work done to it.

Here is a shot of the worst area. I ended up stripping the entire playfield and starting from scratch. The sad part is this was smooth as glass several hours after I sprayed it. The next day I went to check on it and that is what I had.
I got in a hurry and sprayed the last coat entirely too thick instead of doing a few thinner coats.

Pretty sure. Once the top flashed over there was nowhere for the solvent to escape.

Its all finished after having to strip the playfield and install a new overlay after a clearcoat mishap. Worked out great the second time around. Here are a few pictures of the finished product. Just a recap, the lower cab is all hand built with the exception of the head mount. I reused that since it was in good shape, the rest of the cab was rotted. The head is original although it also has a ton of work into it. The entire back panel has been replaced. The machine has all its original boards except the mpu. All of the coils were original Bally and none appeared to have been replaced. All in all this machine appeared to have very low plays on it before some dumb ass put it outside with a tarp on it for a couple years.
