 This is looking great. I love that control panel. the bent acrylic is perfect. the layout and graphics are perfect.

so the acrylic actually is the cp, not just a covering?? niiiice!!

Thanks guys for the compliments, @mgb yep  8mm acrylic for the CP with an overlay.
Super short screws and cutting your pilot bit down short so only a stub extends out of the drill are key to not drilling right through.
Then some epoxy and so far I have not broken any CP`s that have been done like this.
Hopfully today I should get the sides all routed including the channel for the glass - just hope I get that bit straight :)

rockyrocket:
Starting to get some progress now!.
Was a tad concerned about the glass fitting in the channel but it fits beautifully, am really pleased with the tolerances.
If the skies stay clear today the cab should be done today then its just a bit of wire tangling and build the puter ect.

mgb:
That is looking great.
Man I love a classic looking project like this

Yeah I know the classics are well "classic" and that is where my tastes lie.
So in between rain got all the laminating done except the roof , but thats no real problem.
Really like this pattern of formica, will buy it again.

yotsuya:
