Purty.

Where'd you get the pop-breakers? Cheapest place I've found so far is Aircraft Spruce.

If you are looking for those breakers on the 'cheap' tip - ebay sometimes has some killer deals. I got a scrap panel from some military aircraft for under $50 shipped - and it had 35-40 breakers on it. I tested them, and sure enough, they pop within specs. I searched "aircraft panel breaker" or somesuch, I think.

Almost done just a few more switches to place in the panel, I made it so that the center panel could be removed entirely from the car not only to facilitate maintenance on the center panel but allow easy access to under the dash. The hole with the grey wire coming out of it is where the wiper switch will go. just thought i would share.

looks great. That'd be a sweet anti-theft feature, just take the panel out!

I am waiting to install it when i put the KA motor in the car I will re-wire the car too. I an hoping by the end of May but having no garage or work space is really putting a damper on my plans. DIVORCE SUCKS. lol
