Radio Bezel and Fuse block cover replacement

[Fuzzydicerule]

I suppose i should have asked this a couple of days ago before i remade mine, but i suppose hindsight is 20/20

 

Anywho, this thread is about YOUR aftermarket/Custom/Hand made Radio bezel and/or the fuse block cover.

 

This is what i built on Friday. Im planning on redoing my Wiring, and i decided i dont feel like wiring my stock Multi-switch into an aftermarket harness, i decided to make some Centrally located switch panels. This escallated into 12 hours of blisters and cuts, and lots of rivets, but im really happy with how it turned out.

 

I remade Both panels, The Radio bezel is laid out as follows. Top row: Horn button, Headlight switch, Hi beam switch. Middle row: Boost gauge, Buttons and the LED for the Wideband and the LC-1, Innovate Wideband AFR gauge. Bottom. Stockish sized radio cutout. Will be filled with a CB radio when i feel like buying a CB radio

 

The lower is Top: Hazards, Turn signals (LED's below it are the Indicators, and the red is an E brake light), wiper (Up is going to be slow, Down is going to be fast. Bottom: 3 position lock cylinder (only used for On and Off), Power switch for the MS(will allow for no-spark and no fuel cranking, for comp. tests and such, and because i wanted at least one switch to flip when starting the car), and lastly is the Starter button.

 

Here are some pictures.

 

Radio surround.

 

This one shows the 3 different planes of the bezel to get the gauges and the radio face vertical. My god it was a pain in the ass.

 

Fuse cover. I did this first, and i love how it came out. The 4 rivets at the top are what is holding on 2 ears that allow it to pivot from the stock pivots so it functions like the original did. I need to make something to give it a bit more tension against opening because activating the upper switches tends to rock it forwards a bit, but otherwise, i think it came out perfect.

 

Also, you can see my circular cutout for the Cut off switch that is going where the filler neck used to be (car has a Cell), that is done as well, just needs the mounting holes drilled and to be installed...
