There are still several minor items that needed to be finished up before its done. One of those was the switch panel. I just couldn't bring myself to drill and mount these four switches in the original dash board, there really was no good place for them that didn't look like an afterthought. So, I figured our best bet was to build a panel that bolted underneath. I started with a flat piece of 20ga and formed the knob reliefs by bolting a socket to the back side and hammering around it on the front. After a bit of dolly work, I welded sides on to give it a bit more rigidity and also hide the wires.
I used the 3D printer to make a label panel that I epoxied on the front....
...then gave it a coat of paint and highlighted the lettering....
You might be wondering what the switches do? The first two, "LIGHT" and "HEAT" are exactly what you might think...fog lights and the heater blower motor. The next two are for the the air horn that the customer had us install...which I might add is VERY loud! I wired the horns so that you can switch between the stock one and the air horn but use the same stock horn button on the steering wheel. The "COMP" switch is to turn on the air compressor.
