im thinking of making up an overhead switch panel to hold a group of switches ill be needing. not sure if im gonna use a peace out of a junkyard car that has a small overhead panel for a compass and mod it to fit the headliner or use sheet metal and cover it with headliner material. anyone done anything like this or have pics of it? any input?

 

I had an overhead EQ mount that I fabbed before... there are pics on my car-doin page (See profile for link).

I'm currently in the process of fabbing a full custom Fiberglass Headliner with a few digital gauges and small selector switches designed in. Nothing for a first timer.

I'd suggest finding something and modifying it to start with.
