All done i used a ps3 controller and padhacked it to work for the contoller and installed white led strip for the marquee.came out pretty nice and i just sold it earlier today the customer was very happy with it.all in all a fun project played with it for a few hours before the customer came to get it.runs as good as my full size cabmight build one more soon.in the end i sold it for 300 so that should help fund my next project.see the finial pics and demo in the video link.and please like and subscribe to my youtube page thanks guys.
