Instrument panel for JPI EDM-930 in Cessna 206

Today, I've been working on the new instrument panel for 5Y-CMA's new JPI EDM-930.  To make room for the display screen, we have to remove part of the original subpanel.  Then, a new panel is fabricated that will be attached directly to the old subpanel.  It will get powder coated gray to match the rest of the instrument panels.

 Here's the beginning stages of the new panel, working on match-drilling and trimming to get the right fit. 
 I cut out the original subpanel... 
 ...which then looks like this. 
Here's the "final" panel.  I installed a few nutplates for the screws on the right and the bottom.  The countersunk screws on the left go through the RadioRax, as they were before.  Now to do some powder coating!
