My final Donkey Kong resto'

[Guests]

Very nice!!

I know this one will be another beauty!
(It had better be or I'll get Donkey Kong to do a monkey sized poo down in your front garden!)

Well that's a bit unsavoury Rich mate?

If I suddenly go quiet, you can be sure I've made a mammoth sized balls up and taken the cab to the recycling centre!!!

 

[Dex-Jay]

Never! I'll bet my reputation on it turning out great!
(Not like I have a reputation as such...)

Oh and if it does go to a recycling centre, do give me a heads up so I can go grab it!

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Glad to see you back with another great ninty resto mate
I think the kong off marque will look great and I can't wait to see the end product.
Is Bob making a return to the resto ?

 

[Guests]

Is Bob making a return to the resto ?

Hey mate, yeah of course he is!!!!

He's just sorting the Garage out ready to go.

 

[Fuzzy]

Looking forward to seeing this, Al.

Your previous resto's haven't been to bad at all.

 

[Mr20to5]

Forgot about Bob - looking forward to seeing how he's aged!

Thanks for the help with the paint too.

 

[Guests]

Forgot about Bob -

Eh? WTF!? That's not really on!

Poor old Bob!



Photobucket is ultra slow these days, anybody got any suggestions for another image host?

Ha!

There is only one Bob Jones, it's just a cropped close up. I don't want you guys forgetting him!

Are you sure you're done after this one?.. I've bought a DK, DK Jr, DK3 and a Popeye and they all need some TLC (and a Punch-Out but it doesn't need restoring) was hoping to invite you and Bob over at some point for tips!

 

[Guests]

Blimey Paul you're as bad as Alex!! Very cool line up though, love that!

Well, I'm not buying anymore cabs and my interest in the hobby is starting to fade. If it wasn't for Donkey Kong I'd have been gone ages ago.

Happy to come and see you of course. If you need a spray job and you're happy to pay for materials, get the cab to me empty/prepared and I'll spray it when I get time......just not this year!

Go Al ! And Bob.

Watching this with a lot of interest..

 

[Guests]

Great picture James!!

I managed to do a few hours on the cab yesterday (Sunday) afternoon.

Here he is, it's Bob!!! ...... and he's more awesome than ever!!



Bob removed the coin door panel, speaker panel, CPO lock down panels etc.





Bob! Absolutely lovin' it!!



The Nintendo bases in general are normally falling to bits when they get to us guys. This one is surprisingly good though, solid and all intact. I still put some lost head nails into the corners just to help keep it in shape.



Bob, ultra useful



Took the side art off and did an ultra quick first fill all the way around.





As usual, fill the monitors horizontal mounting bolt holes as they wont be needed.



Ended up removing the lower bezel retaining cross section just to help speed up the masking/painting process. I'll remove the securing timbers next time.



That's all folks!

Sheesh, that Bob never ages or stops smiling.

 

[Guests]

He's like Al Nad, loves a resto and nothing to be unhappy about.
