I wanted the same clean look in my Galaxie, I custom fabed a center consol and put my switchs in one section my aftermarket radio in the next and all my Doc's go in the third. It looks clean.

-A piece of sheet steel large enough to hold the items you wish to hide.
-A piece of "piano hinge" long enough for the above panel.
-Enough extra wire to allow for the swing of above panel.
-Magnetic cabinet "latch" that releases on touch, typical of stereo cabinets.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I am designing a drop down fusebox using the exact idea Bob suggested. Had not thought of the magnetic cabinet latch, Thanks Bob!
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
