There are a lot of great looking panels out there. Please share what’s behind the scenes.

Neat or messy, if you dare, please share.
 
hey Webb- I don't think I have a ton of behind the panel shots, but here are a few.

Minimalist

That’s everything even AOA. MGL avionics. Not for everyone but simple and light.

Here's the back side of the panel.

And here's the stuff behind the panel. I'm almost finished terminating.

RV-6A wiring

Here's some pics behind the panel for my -6A. Fairly basic panel compared to others. Day VFR, single electrical bus, blade fuse block (9 slots used), backup battery for the EFIS, B&C LR3 VR and OV protection. The engine is O-320 carb with dual mags. Other equipment includes 2-axis AP, wig-wag landing lights, ADS-B out. Trim is manual.

I tried to keep the wiring runs tidy enough but not so tightly bundled that it will be difficult to maintain. The wires are all labeled with laser printed paper and clear heat shrink or are color-coded (Dynon scheme).

There is a custom inter-connect circuit board that acts as a hub for the low current signals in between the equipment and some of the switches/buttons.

RV-8 behind panel

Here's my results.
Left & right side views of the "spaghetti mess".
Then left, top & right side views of everything in place and laced up.
Let's not forget the items under the front baggage floor by the rudder pedals
Finally, the front view obviously.
