Today I started cutting into my instrument panel. Over the past few months I have been playing with the layout of the panel.
The holes you see on the left will accommodate seven switches, an indicator light, and a key-switch. I drilled these with a drill press and step-bit which I bought specifically for this portion of the project.
The holes in the rectangular pattern were drilled to allow me to use a nibbler tool to cut away a large portion for the Stratomaster instrument display I will place in the dash.
