so been trying to figure out my switches for my dash (have an idea to redo the stereo and dash plate) and saw these guys on facebook:
http://www.otrattw.com/index.php
pretty decent prices.
what lead me to them was a switch like this, thought it was pretty cool so ordered one:

needed to put these things to use that I bought 4 or 5 years ago

they all should fit into this thing:
Name:  switchplate.jpg

all of this junk will be wired inconjunction with this thing:

this will help get rid of my rock light wires I left hanging down from my sliders since I wasn't sure how I was gonna route them.
Addition things to do:
1) Pass DEQ
2) Reinstall Dual Case:
3) Rebuilt IFS Rear end/Disc Brakes
4) add T/C mounted E-brake
5) redo rear seat tray and mount back seats.
6) make a Bikini top
and most importantly
Wheel the piss out of this thing this summer

Nice collection of doors! The half door looks good. That's a smart latch design

Got the majority of the driver side door done. I am note sure which I hate more fiberglass or sheet metal. I have a new found respect for body guys.
Need some more flappers wheels and some bondo.

Have you installed this yet? You using it as a aux fuse box? Been looking for something that I could use for wiring all my lights and accesories too.
