How to build a sit down driving arcade cabinet

Step 5 Final touches

Here is a list of the last few things to do.
- Get a marquee printed up. Use mine or try one of these examples
- Mount the power strip inside and underneath.
- Nail down the car mats with at least 10 roofing nails.
- Stick two velcro strips down the center of the mats with matching location on the bottom of the gas/brake. Make sure the strips are long enough so the pedals can be adjusted for you to play and for your niece--the seat will only adjust so far, and we want everyone to enjoy this gaming experience.
- Install a hook for the second controller to sit on while not in use.
- Twist tie up extra cabling inside.
- Hook up a network cable for online gaming.
- Sit down and play.

No.  I bought that for the wife it was her favorite as a kid.

what is the marquee made of is it just paper covered by plexi-glass or is the entire thing plastic

[Stryker]

I took my graphic to Kinkos and had it printed on high gloss paper. Then just sandwiched it between 2 pieces of plexiglass. I CAREFULLY drilled a few holes to attach it to the wood.

I thought it was great because my dad is going to put a arcade in his new garage. So this would be a great game to play plus you can still play other games on it.
