Front Panel:
 

The making of the front panel. The front panel was made from aluminum sheet cut to size from a company on the internet call Metal By The Inch. They will cut your aluminum to what ever size you need. Mine was cut to 19 1/8 x 8 inches. Holes were drill out for three rocker switches, two one each for the load and plate control. Three holes were cute for the three meters using a circle cutting saw from Harbor Freight. Having a drill press comes in real handy. Also holes were drill out for three led lamps. Mounting holes for front panel were also drill to be able to attach the panel to the chassis. After all hole were drill next came the painting.

I first apply a two coat of gray primer. Then two coats of flat black fast drying paint purchase from Home Depot, cost about $1.00 per can the cheap stuff. 

Next came the lettering for all switches, meter and the plate and load controls. I wanted to make a circle around the plate and load control knobs but could not  quite figure out how i was going to do it, and have a nice round circle. Then the XYL came up with the idea of using one of her measuring cups. That idea work out great.
