this is my new parking brake after some cosmetic changes,,, its a bit smaller and the two toggle switches has been changed for two push
buttons that control the ATC window and the GPS MSG Button.

Yes i am going to take my time building this one... the panel will be Black Plexiglass. already Cut.
the Glare shield Will be covered with Red Material that looks like leather. Red on black looks very nice.
and the rest of the panel will be clear coated . i want the wood to look great.

Hi Steven. It's looking great. Red and black Mmmmm! very Ferrari. A sporty cockpit in the making.
I noticed a wee thing with your trim wheel, are you placing your instrument behind the plexi'?
If not and you're placing them on the front surface, it looks at the moment that you may have to lower your trim wheel, as it looks like it may impinge on your bottom instrument panel.
Just a thought.

Brian
