Looks great!
Eventhough you're pressed for time, be careful on re-assembly; you don't need any "OOooops" this stage of the game.
On another note, I've always liked spraying my doors in a horizontal position so they come out like glass...

Having just finished Victor's 81D I know you have your work cut out for you. Stay focused and you'll make it.

no. 2
The black coating on the slug rejector is an oxidized zinc left over from an ill attempt to clean it in an acid based cleaning solution, & it looks a bit off, it doesn't affect the coin-mechs operation, ( the owner didn't want to pop for the extra bucks to have it re-plated)

no. 3
I am really getting to prefer the hammertone look as opposed to the smoother finish of a powder-coated liner. I think it adds some depth. not as durable though, guess that's the trade-off.

The original foam seal was way to rotted for re-use, so I improvised with two of those large foam paint brushes pointing end-to-end to form the seal for the doorlatch. it worked out very nicely!
