Default Needing a switchpanel

I am looking to get ahold off the gentleman who makes the custom switchpanels. I think he goes by "Beer"? I am open to other makers if anyone knows of a reputable person, I have just heard good things about him and I have also seen his work and it appears top notch!

I need a switchpanel that will fit in my ashtray rigged with 3 switches and labeled "Lights" "Lock" "Loud" -for my strobes, line lock and electric cutouts. It could be nice to have a Z06 logo engraved in there as well.

I appreciate any help

I might be able to help you out with that little project. I have a sign shop, but It's been pretty slow around here for the last couple of weeks and I'm getting tired of playing video Poker. Could always use a new Corvette project. I'd take the measurements off my C5, but I changed the console to a double dinn and filled in the ashtray area. That's where I put my radar control panel. PM me the measurements that you need and we can go from there.

Not sure about "Beer" but try reaching out to Forum Sponsors TSTAR or RadioFlyer. I bet one of them can assist or put you in the right direction.

Well they are called "Beer switches" so I was just taking a wild guess..

I put one together myself. Its a fairly simple DIY. If I was doing it again I'd just go with a one color black leather covering as I didn't get the stitched line straight.
