Simple VFR day time. Later with more avionics, possible IFR. Finally realized easiest way is two completely separate panels. epanelpanel.com looks interesting. Also water jet cutting services ($140 for a panel). Hmm, after pricing a instrument hole punches, looks very interesting . First panel will be simple. Airspeed, altimeter, Vert compass. Simple audio panel, COM, 496 Garmin. Maybe a "glove box" for maps.
Dream IFR Panel... after the youngest is out of college (10 years... )
