So the right side of the head was redecaled with the old decal painted over. Didn't look that bad.

Does Adams Family Mylar usually come off that well or is it because Bryan is a god?

#116 7 years ago
Quoted from KingPinGames:

shit, i called him at 6pm the other night and he was just getting back from early dinner at Denny's and was headed to bed....
just kidding, but that is the message i left on his phone

You want an Addams, Chris? I'll sell you this one when I'm done. Cheap. Some guy on Pinside sent it to me, no charge. Let's just keep this between you and me though.

#117 7 years ago
Quoted from heni1977:

Looks great so far! Was wondering, it looks like wood glue and clamps for the splitting of wood for the corners. I am redoing a F-14 with similar issues. But I was wondering about fixing the parts that are broken and chipped. What would you suggest for repairing?

I'd have to see pics of what you mean. If it's broken, you glue and clamp. If it's chipped, you fill with bondo. I'll be getting to that.

Any kind of mylar comes off that easy on a Diamond Plated playfield. I literally had those three pieces off in about a minute. The key is to not get cheap on the freeze spray. The glue removal takes a bit longer, especially with pieces that big.

Says the guy using a canned duster, upside down, instead of an actual Freeze Spray!

Great work as always Bryan!

Time for a new cabinet bottom! But first, the joints must be cleaned out so it fits nice and tight!

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

#134 7 years ago

Getting there...

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

#135 7 years ago

#136 7 years ago

I love the smell of Bondo in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#137 7 years ago

I was curious about the bottom.. if he'd get rid of any channel and just seat it on the ledge and nail/glue it. I have a WPC cabinet I really want to redo the bottom in but have been too scared to punch out and redo.

Looks like that is what he is going to do. Maybe he can chime in later...

If the bottom panel fits nice and tight, between the glue and the nails, it should be plenty strong.

Oh yeah! A good foundation is everything!

#142 7 years ago

99% of bondo removed on the head

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

#143 7 years ago

Now its time to sand the inside of the cabinet while the bondo on the head cures. Efficiency!

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

#144 7 years ago

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

#145 7 years ago

Now switching to 120 grit

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

#146 7 years ago

The inside painted portion gets 329 grit and red pad.

image (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpeg

#147 7 years ago

Now switching to 220 in the sander for all the exterior surfaces.

#148 7 years ago

Last thing to do is sand the edges and make sure they're perfect.
