Should look great all lit up ! Will we hear some bells and other pinball sounds too ? That's the plan Bob .. I need to do some measuring for the sound device . I may end up making a base to hide the electronics like the "Fired Up!" Dodge van.. |

I finally received the replacement for the missing arm.. also dropped a couple emails out in cyber land to get a quote on a pin ball noise sound board ..

Still gathering additional
Parts for my kit bash.. sound board from Randy at VooDooFx has arrived as well has my electrics with flashing LED’s from my long time friend and car-toon member Tim Nolan .. .. I’ll post some updates once I have made more progress.. I’m still in the pondering stages of where to stuff all this cool stuff !! Stay Tooned !

Thanks Brian — the kit comes with some pretty cool
Inserts .. the trick is to get the proper hue of light by diffusing .. Tim has sent me a piece of material to do just that.. it tames the sharpness off the lights and sets between the lights and board design .. even though it’s a car-toon it’s still quite a complex process to make it look “believable” and in sync with the sound board 👍👍👍👍🏁🏁

Attachment DeletedA new upper portion for the pinball machine was very small and a solid piece of resin...the replacement had to be made to accommodate the larger electronics.. this is to House blinking LED’s.. so separate compartments were made to isolate the flashing LED’s
