Hey Grim, what's your thoughts on finishing it? Nice stain and urethane or classic arcade flat black and neon lettering?

Great looking set up, the 2x6's should give it some weight and extra rigidity (is this a word?) for sure!

yes, "this" is definitely a word just like all the other words in your post. You should be proud of yourself!

Ego is a flaw. Two ego's perhaps doubly so?

Shallow, by definition, is a lack of depth...

Back on topic, GRIM, I think it begs for some striping? Of course I like to stripe everything possible...

Phase two is nearly complete.  Just need to add the floor board and then its off to finish, sanding and paint which will need to wait a few weeks however here is the current pics

From a distance, it looks good however most of the panels have and notes, markings along with it being MDF so it really needs to be painted.  Thanks though guys

How about a paint that will make you go slower? And how's the new rig name progressing?
