You can slightly see the national luna setup with two AMG Mega fuses bolted to the back upright, but I'll try to get some better pictures of it later

support bracket (this was just something I grabbed out of the scrap pile.  I didn't do those terrible looking welds, but it was late and it works (and won't be seen)

view from the top.  Many of the holes are plugged as each relay takes up 6 positions, but only uses 4.  Top right you can see a micro II 35A SPST relay installed.  Great little system using Metri-pack

Red 12ga will go to a + busbar and leads into the fuses, then to the relays.  Black (with red stripe) 12ga will go to a grounding busbar.  Colorful spools will be run through the firewall to the switches with other wiring going to the interior.

just sticky back LED strips, the kind that you can buy at Home Depot.  We have a ton of them laying around the office from old projects.  (they're being powered by an extension cord in this shot, but will have to figure out how to get a similar effect with them rigged up to the battery and a switch).
