I test fit the radio, G5 and AP panel, got it all squared away and drilled the holes for the screws. The picture makes it look funky, but it all turned out nice and square.
I made the cutout for the PMA450 audio panel next. I shot off an email to AFS to see if they can tell me what the cutout should be for the Garmin GNC 355 that will go right below it. I think instead of leaving the PMA450 hole the size that it is, I can probably just expand it to be big enough for the GNC rack as well. The GNC will come with a rack that supports the GPS (just like the PMA has as well), so the panel doesn't really do much in terms of supporting the unit. I'll see what they say, since it's something they do all the time.
After measuring 100 times, I bit the bullet and made the cut for the PFD. There really won't be much meat left to the panel after all of the cuts are made!
Sweet success! I drilled the screw holes, but still need to install all of the nutplates.
