Show us your panel

Jeff,
Very nice. I especially LOVE the wine glasses hanging from the windscreen!!!!

I'm all about cupholders...!

If you can really do all the paint and wiring in two weeks, that would be beyond impressive!

I cheat... I work for a big defense contractor in the wiring and interconnect department.
This panel really isn't that difficult. The EIS and EFIS harness is largely complete from GRT, just have to terminate the other end. Rest is pretty straightforward.
The iffy part will be the painting. Weather here is still a bit cool. Not easy to paint without a paint shop environment.

I have a panel! Started wiring it yesterday morning and finished this morning. After power checks I pushed in the breakers and everything came up!
Now to take it all apart and get it painted...

Looking good Jeff!

Got a question - looks like you have some type of switches along the bottom of the panel with indicator lights.....what brand and model are they?

Dave,
They are NTE Round Hole Illuminated Rocker, Square Bezel switches. LEDs come in red (54-645), amber (54-645A), green (54-645G) and blue (54-645B). They run $3.50 to just under $5 each. I get mine from arcade-electronics.com for about $3.50 each although the big stores carry them too. I like to support the little shops...
Spec sheet attached.
These switches are rated 20A at 12VDC!
I am using a dimmer as they can get pretty bright and if you plan on any night flying they might be a bit much. The dimmer I found that works with these lights is from Oznium.com.
