made my own out of thin guage aluminum from home depot. Bought the switches online and drilled out a few holes. How many switches do you need? I installed an all autometer guage cluster and added 4 switches under those guages as well as one switch under the headlight switch for my ignition kill.

Here is what im thinking, I have a radio delete plate right now (its an original GM part) so i dont wanna chop it up. and i have a Moroso switch panel, with 5 switches and one start button, and 5 circuit breakers. So i think im going to get a piece of sheet metal, and trace out the radio delete plate on it, and then trace the moroso plate on it, drill it out and put all the moroso switches and circuit breakers in it. what do you think? BTW, i need a switch for, ignition, water pump, fans, fuel pump, and NOS, and a start switch. Im redoing my engine harness so i only have around 10 total wire in the engine compartment, that is the plan anyways thanks

your idea works for me, just use aluminum sheet metal since it'll be easier to cut and won't rust out at all.

mw66nova, I really like the plate you put in place of your ash tray. What did you use and how did you make it? Oh, and why did you change from your Megashifter to stock? I have one and was thinking of going back to stock but really wanted to have a good reason to switch.

the megashifter was bulky and clumbsy and i never felt like i had a positive engagement when i shifted. the stock shifter is now fitted with a b&m gate and works great.

the panel in place of the ash tray was made from plexiglass. it was a pain in the butt to make but looked cool. the current one with the vacuum gauge in it is made from an old dash board.
