Just put in 10.5 hrs into these between Sunday and today. One is going out today. The other two are waiting on one piece that I had to reorder because I used on another project. Right now there is NO etching. The time delays for etching these is just too much. Hopefully the missing etching is ok. If its absolutely needed then I will continue my pursuits to get it done.
Git er done! I was looking forward to the etching but it won't kill me if it's not there. Now I just have to make room for this thing, I've already repurposed that area twice!

Joey - any thoughts about offering the panel sans anything but the F.R. disconnect switch?
Is the above still true? I was just on the site, didn't see it.
I can appreciate how much went into getting these sized & bent, and maybe others would like one (read: be willing to BUY one) - if it just housed the switch.
I'd personally like to stuff my winch solenoid under the larger panel, with that disconnect switch in prime location to be a win-win install.

Sooooo.... got one last one?????
How is mine coming along? 
I'm working up the parts to get mine installed very soon. I'm going to integrate a Victron Battery Monitor Shunt in a Blue Sea plastic case in there somewhere but I'm concerned about the vertical clearance.
For those who have installed it already how much, if any, space is available below the bottom of the bracket?

I'm finally getting around to putting mine in. I've bought a key switch Flaming River disconnect and incorporating a Pelican case to house my Victron 500A shunt. I'm adding a few electrical outputs beyond the Cig lighter including a dual USB and an SAE port for charging and running my homemade accessory lights. I'm stuck with that 2" gauge knockout though. I don't really need, or want to deal with, a temp gauge. Thinking maybe about an AutoMeter Clock. It's like a time warp under the hood sometimes. Any other suggestions?

Thanks, I like the switch idea. I already have a Victron BMV-712 ammeter/volt meter which is awesome...but can't live under the hood. It's not waterproof or dust proof.
Do you sell those probes by any chance?

Awesome!
Since I'm wiring my 2nd battery in parallel, I'm considering placing my Car Alarm battery backup on the other side of that battery check 3-way switch. Underneath the bracket would be a great place to store it too. Lots of room below. 
You know, after installing a shunt, it would be very easy to replace the Volt meter with a Volt/Amp meter. The shunt interrupts the negative battery which is right there next to the meter on the Flaming River switch! I get so much more out of amp data than volt data.
