Here is the one that I made that will
hold only two switches. The size of the panel is smaller because of
where it's going to be located in the console which is only 2" wide
X 2" high X 1/4" thick and I used 6-32 set-screws because
there wasn't much room for anything larger. The switches snap in place
but you can remove them if need be.

Here you can see the center console in
place and is just about finished. The six switches starting at the top
are for fan, interior lights, high-low beam, wipers, passenger window,
driver window. The reason for the fan switch is because I wanted to use
this as an override. The electric fan has a thermostat that controls it
but I wanted to be able to turn it on if I wanted too. The bottom two
switches are for engine kill and future whatever. The reason for the
kill switch is because when I'm strapped in with the shoulder harness, I
can't reach the key to turn the engine off. This wasn't very good
planning on my part earlier on so I added it now. I'll be covering the
shifter slot a little later as I have something in the planning stages.

This is my wind-lace that goes around
the doors. It's used to transition from paint to upholstery and hides
most of the gaps here and there. It has a foam like material inside it
and then the material is glued around it. You insert the material that's
glued together behind the panels leaving the round covered edge between
the body and upholstery. I'll have to trim the ends to length once I've
got the whole thing installed.

Here is a before shot of the door jam.
Notice the large gap between the dash and body. The wind-lace will be
inserted between there making things look much better so think of
wind-lace as a trim. Newer cars have molded panels that fit much better
which means you don't need it for them.
