Ohhh yeah. Pillar gauges, overhead panel with toggle switches on it, Whelen control box in the roof, radar detector on the windshield, DSP5 switch on the dash, another switch panel on the knee bolster...

Keith (aka Nasty Girl) needs to chime in here. A 747 cockpit is probably less congested than what he looks at when he drives.

I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow. My CB is on the right side under the steering wheel instead of on the side like you have it lousianarebel. I lean my leg there while driving long distances. I hid my train horn LED indicator, compressor switch, and button. Trying to figure out the best place for my DSP5, and then somewhere for my CB amp.

I took that cb out and got a small one that fits in the center console. I'm still looking for a spot to put my cb amp :(

I thought about putting one in the center console also. Would have taken a little work to get it in there. However, my friend is at school learning about fiberglass work in cars. So we might make some changes at a later date.

Check out my garage for pics. My Pioneer radio has a USB port that I ran into the glovebox and I have an 8GB memory stick in it for my music. Also put my amp on toggle so that it would not cause interference with my CB when I really need to reach out and touch somebody.:D

It's great isn't it. Just waiting around for warmer weather so I can add more guages and switches.
