Another special project for our own Chris25810. Who months back and have no idea how he does it, other than having far more patience than I have thats for sure, managed to remove all his art from his 4 player Demolition Derby cabinet
in 1 piece! Then sent this off to me along with some scans and fully vectored art for this new project.


The Pre-Done vector art was nicely done with 1" bleeds all round this was pretty much ready for print
with the exception of color matching.


There was also some debate whether or not the car on the left was red and orange on both sides of the cabinet
and after careful analysis I can say it had simply faded.
small areas covered by the speaker grill and removing some of the orginal black ink which had exposed some of the bleed underneath where the orange had once been.


So I did some minor detail fixes and assigned a matching color profile and ran a test print over the weekend.


The test print and some vinyl samples are being sent off to Chris for some feedback.
Also being considered is a screenprinted clear coat for additional durability.
The orginal was also high gloss clear coated possibly for extra protection due to it height and contact with players.


Awaiting some final measurements on some of the other pieces of black vinyl that also cover the cab that dont have any art on them but so the black vinyl matches throughout and will be available as a full kit these will be printed Black as well so that it will all match.

A BIG thanks to Chris Rhoades for bringing yet another classic to light.
Look for this to be available soon from ThisOldGame.com.

UPDATE

All Measurements in and art ready for print Final price on the above 11 piece set which also includes a vinyl underlay for the bezel $190+$18shipping
Becasue of the silkscreened clear coat and the low demand for this set this is a Very limited 1 time run

Wow, sign me up, this could not come at a better time, my 4 Plyr Demo Derby is coming next week just as this project is happening, I already know I want to restore it, talk about lucky. Its been 17 years since I last played this game and I remember this being enough fun back then to want this as a keeper. THANKS CHRIS!

I'm thinking the same thing Orrimarrko... However, I have absolutely no room and the garage is no place for a restored Demo Derby!

I would love one, if I could only find the game!

I'm restoring one to put in my soon-to-be-open videogame museum. (I'll be announcing it formally within a week). Anyway, my typical restoration is windex and touch-up paint (due to time and money constraints). But depending on price I would be interested in one or two of these sets.

The test print is in and it looks fantastic Rich, now all we need to do is find the people that have been looking for this art for the past 15 years. Can we generate some new interest to justify a small run?

I will blog this money draining resto at some point but for now it's a project that's better left alone till i really have the time for it.

Man, I can't wait to see this. I almost bought the 2 player UR cab, but always thought the 4 player sitdown was so much more fun.

Looking forward to checking in on this baby!

BTW Rich i might as well just give you my bank account number on this one, or just tell me what cartrige your printer takes and i'll send you a pallet of black. This is 11 pieces of vinyl without the cpo's figured in.

This will go down in history as one of the most expensive restorations that i've ever done. The entire cabinet is being rebuilt from templates of the original and the rest of the restoration list is very long. Work your magic Rich!
