....errrr, a few. And they all involve either a sawzall or a handsaw >:D
I made a quick sketch using my super-duper paint skills to illustrate my devious plans:
The red area shows where I'd cut away to provide support for the CP box. To cover the resulting gap between the back of the CP and the monitor bezel/glass I will use some thick foam board, cut at an angle and painted black to match the rest of the cab, as shown by the thick light grey line.
... and I fully expect a flood of pitchfork-wielding villagers to come after me for posting this, but I'll take my chances :D

When you cut your wings on your cabinet and mount your cabinet, how are you going to support/stabilize it? I will be cutting the wings off my cabinet as well to fit my control panel but I was worried about stability/support to hold the control panel up.
TelcoLou:
I've been thinking of this (excuse the primitive rendering, I'm at work):
I'd cut some spare wood to support it, as poorly represented i the mock-up (NOT to scale, of course)
Here's my latest idea for the layout:
skippy0420:
I like the layout, What are the dimensions of this last layout? I am really looking into mocking my full layout up soon and like what you have so far.
TelcoLou:
Thanks ;D The dimensions will be 35" x 18" (the box is 34" x 14.5")
TelcoLou:
Well, after some discussions with Jack from arcadesrfun, I've decided on a smaller version of their CP:
There's been some negative feedback regarding the magsticks (changeable 4/8-way), so I opted for the dedicated 4-way along with the 2 8-ways. This smaller panel will be MUCH easier to attach to my cab, and still have all the controls I need :)
Stay tuned ....
