Default cool fuse panel - where do you get this?

Not sure where to post this...figured I'd post it here since a lot of conversions use this kinda stuff.

I found this on my buddy's 78 Camaro. He can't remember where he got it from. I like that it has a power source that's easy to see and an area for ground connections.

Does anyone have one of these or know who makes them? I know Painless makes some similar but they're a little pricey.

That looks like what they used to use to wire up T buckets in the 70's, I didn't know they still made those.

Unless you want retro, take a look at these:

Check out marine supply stores. Looks like a fuse panel out of a boat. https://www.portsupply.com/webapp/wc...0Nciq7YA%3D%3D

That one is nice and straight forward but looks a little too exposed for my likings.

Lots of places sell all sorts of fuse panels. summit, jegs, even local auto parts places carry stuff like that. I like the selection at this car stereo shop. they have stuff with gold plating, distribution blocks with every type of fuse imaginagble, and even under hood dist blocks with built in volt meters.

This place has a good selection too

Connector dealers that have some fuse blocks

That panel in the picture is the old Mr' Gasket one, you still see them at closeout at some of the swap meets.
Buy something more modern from Waytek

That may be a 'cool fuse panel' but why would you want to use such old technology? This would be like using a stereo with an 8-track player when you could have MP3. Use a modern fuse panel, you'll be glad you did. JMO

I use the one that listed from Waytek wire, it is a really good panel, can be setup to be waterproof and is extremely versatile and compact.

The first one posted is really easy to see how it works though. Like others said I wouldn't use it either, but I can definitely see the attraction.

when i've pulled stock fuse panels from a junk yard i could never tell what wire powered it. all the wires look similar in gauge. you'd think the one power wire would be bigger but i could never tell.

Do a search for Auto-Rod Controls.

They make some nice parts.
