Thanks, I have been considering having some one make a cnc overlay for the gauge/switch panel. That way I can easily change it up if I ever need to add something or reagange it. I'm happy with how the heater control panel turned out.

I cooked my old battery so I upgraded to this monster. I was considering going with dual batteries. But I believe it will be sufficient. It's 15.5 inches wide.

I bought a new under bed box off ebay. I know you get what you pay for. But I was not expecting it to be so thin. it's made of 18 gauge aluminum. Its 48W,17T,16D the battery fits in it perfectly.
