I restored a FishTales for a good friend of mine.

While I was at it I did a pretty cool mod to light the speaker panel area.

Here's what was done to the FishTales:

1: Cab sanded, bondoed, and painted.
2: New side art, backbox art, and coindoor art.
3: New clear dome topper.
4: New side blade art.
5. Color changing Led's in topper.
6: Color matched non-ghosting led's in inserts.
7: Bright white led's in backbox
8: Sunlight white led's in GI
9: White led light strip in back and apron.
10: Powder coated caster/side rails/lock bar/legs.
11: Flame polished ramp.
12: New decals for fish inserts.
13: New boat ramp decal.
14: Backlit speaker mod with dimming remote.
15: New rubber kit.
16: Painted coin door.
17: Custom Fish Tales coin inserts.

Here is a video of the restore:
