One piece at a time...... Cut the Audio/USB panel out of aluminum. I worked those USB ports by hand with tiny little files. :dizzy: It's not perfect, but I don't want to do it again. The audio PCB in held in place by a bracket JB welded to the back of the panel. Forgot to take a pic, but it's just small piece of aluminum angle with some holes cut in it for the pot shafts to pass through. The nuts on the pots hold everything in place. Mounted after cleaning up that area. The pieces it and the cupholder are in were painted with rustoleum bedliner, then clearcoated with automotive clear. The result is similar to fine textured abs plastic. The t-molding is loose above there and will be trimmed flush with the top edge of the CP Plexi (when the CP is finished). Not sure if I'm polishing it, adding vinyl labels, or doing a full decal over the entire thing. It's in there for now. |

This cab looks awesome. The centering control panel with the hidden cup holder is pure genius. Now I want one! :applaud: |

Does that metal plate need a ground or something with the exposure to the USB plug? Just seems like potential to zap something. |

Thanks for looking out! |
