That pile of metal magically transformed using hammer, brute force, few rivets and some obscene words.

Well.
Everything done with my own hands, except of laser cutting of raw material.
Would I do that again ? Sure, but excluding DME
If someone wants layouts/templates in CAD for 14-19-2 - welcome.

Next step will be probably replacing Century HSI with a used Sandel SN3308.
I do not want glass cockpit in almost vintage aircraft and Sandel provides maximum functionality at almost classical look-and-feel.

This is what Ivans panel looked like in 1987!

Well... ASI, turn coordinator and 3-pointer (oil/fuel pressure, oil temp) are still the same. Awesome photo, thank you.
