[QUOTE="AcadDude, post: 281420, member: 7404"] It's been a long thread but I think I am done with the rebuild. I got the stickers for the backglass cabinet buttons on and swapped out the white led's for purple ones. [IMG]https://scontent.fmkc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45945746_2201075336591759_3659364895570264064_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_ht=scontent.fmkc1-1.fna&oh=4765c2ee1c0a619711eef17c86ada245&oe=5C78D471[/IMG] Then I got the siderails fitted up and painted. I took an aluminum angle and hammered the front corner down a little to help fill the gap where the wood is rounded. I then sanded then corners to be softer edges and painted them red. I figured I needed a little accent color. I think as I add decals to the sides it will liven up the dark cabinet some. Here are some pictures of the angle before painting and after attachment.
