Tim,
As I was going thru the panel plans, it seems that the lower flange/strip of aluminum will be recessed slightly behind the panel. That triggered a memory from your site, so can you relate how you accomplished,” One very nice thing I found with adding that extra layer of aluminum for the switch bar at the bottom of the panel…” that made your panel “flush from top to bottom.”

That's a simple one. I just bought some aluminum strips from Van's.
They are I think .063 strips, and I think they may be 1.5" or 2" wide.
Measure and see which fits better, or I can check at the hanger
if I remember today when I'm there. You may have to call them
to have them figure out which sizes they have standard. I can't
seem to find them on the web at first glance. They were
cheap, and I still have a couple extra that I ordered.
Anyway, all I did was take 2 strips, and attach them to the lower part
of the panel with about 4 screws for each strip. You can paint them
separately and attach them even after the panel is done if you
want to, but I'd really recommend having them for one reason.
If you ever want to add more switches or change the layout of something,
which has already happened to me, then at worst you just have to
pull the strip and paint it and re-silkscreen/engrave/label that piece.
It also makes the panel look nicer. I looked hard at my photos of
the colorado RV-10's before I did that and was impressed that theirs
looked more finished, which gave me the idea.
