but the control panel in the cabinet is metal and the holes have been drilled in all kinds of no standard formation and layout.. I want to turn this cabinet into a Street Fighter II: The World Warrior.. but there is no way for me to just fill in the layout and start over..

any recommendations from people that have done this before? whats the easiest way to get this to a SF setup from its current form?

Thanks

I would cut plugs and weld them in.

If I could weld I wouldnt work in a stuffy office

The best way in my opinion is take it to a metal shop and have them Reston the panel.  Here is what I did. 

I may be interested in selling it as the game I did this for won’t be needing it.

Interesting.. how much did that run you? I ended buying a 6 button layout from a guy on klov for $85 shipped.. should be here tomorrow.. then I will switch them out and see what I want to do with the current
