Here is my cabinet

Since im converting the xbox steering wheel to happ arcade controllers I have an issue with the buttons that were normally on the steering wheel....6 of them and the d-pad that is in the center of the steering wheel has to go somewhere. however I want to keep the machine as clean as possible. So an arcade 8 way stick sticking out of the dashboard might be out of the question.
any suggestions?

how about create a flip down panel, like a glove box in a car.  Looks like there is room to the left of the wheel.   i made a quick little diagram since i suck at explaining.  not to scale obviously, but it gets the point accross

i like. I like alot. Im goign to run with this idea. The xbox is located on the left side of the dash and the shifter on the right but I will hopefully come up with something. in a real car the driver controls are mostly on the right side so Im going to see what I can come up with using your idea as a template.

Is it me, or is this diagram amazing? Well done!
