Bob, I built my panel using 12 layers of KR cloth and finished with a layer of deck cloth. Or maybe it was just 8 layers, I can't recall. That was several years ago. It could stand to be a bit thicker but I reinforced it along the bottom back side with a piece of 5/8" spruce and then rounded the front bottom corner. I used a fly cutter to cut the instrument holes and a regular bit for the switch and circuit breaker holes. I also installed two light weight aluminum tubes from the panel to the firewall for stiffening and used them to support wiring to the firewall. Larry Flesner
