Default Panel Cutting Shops (With Advice)

I played with https://www.ehangar.org/ and designed my dream cockpit. (For me, this is probably based on GRT's hardware, because I like the HUD.)

Are there some shops that can cut CNC panels for the hardware I have chosen *and* who know Vans experimental well enough to give me advice (e.g., what I forgot or what is stupidly positioned)?

Advice appreciated.

I recommend you also talk to Aerotronics. They can do anything from cutting your panel to providing a completely wired ready to install panel. I worked with them on the final layout of my panel and then had them cut it for me, so I could install and wire the avionics myself.

They did a great job and even provided trays for behind the displays to hold some of the remove LRUs.

Aerotronics is an advertiser here on VAF. They can be reached at http://www.aerotronics.com/

...and another +1 for Bill at Up North. Patiently handled all my revisions and did a great job cutting my panel.
