Beautiful result Luigi, your Ck cab with the original sidearts is a real treasure.

Thanks Béla

Next I will try to remove that black colour from the t-molding. I hope that the silver one will still be there then. I will try water with a sponge at first so it won't get damaged. If that doesn't help I will use stronger "weapons"


Thanks Etienne. Don#t put too much effort in this. I think I have some old leaf buttons left with better springs

[Etienne MacGyver]

Not to worry Luigi  

I am now in my customer with the old crap 

[Luigi]

I only found one spring that had no rust and I used it for the original red button. I used two new buttons for the white ones. They are a little too bright IMHO. But so far it looks very good 

[Belike]

Wonderful, do you have a full size pic from the cab with the new cpo?

[Etienne MacGyver]

Looks good!

so you dont need the springs anymore ?
Then i have some spares now

Thanks.


Not yet. I have to do the bezel retainer first. I already made it (thanks Etienne for the drawing!) but of course it has to be painted black. Btw....can somebody post a pic of the screws that are used to mount the bezel retainer to the cab? Maybe I have some of them.

Oh, and there's still that black painting on the t-molding that has to be removed  


@Etienne: to be honest...I'd like to have the original buttons in the panel so if I ever get my hands on some nice springs, they will return there     But there's no hurry at all.

Maby you should try the "ataritoobin trick":


I don´t know if it will have the same effect on the buttons, or if the color will stay on...

Send me your details in PM please, then i drop them in the mail

I have no idea what a bezel retainer is.

[Etienne MacGyver]

That is the metal strip between the bezel and the marquee

Ah, ok thanks.

In my CK are bolts that look like these:

[Belike]

Yeah, same in my Pac & Paint

[Luigi]

Thanks for the pics....I'm sure they are lying around somewhere....where's the shovel?

Did someone scan the ASTRO WARS CP? I can see cab I'm restoring has a corrupted FIREBIRD cp.
A good photo could be enough for my graphics designer
