Default Switch panels....

I'm doing up a switch panel where the radio used to be, and am wondering what switches I need/don't need. I only want to do this panel once, so if there is something that I'm gonna need down the road, I won't mind putting a switch there for it now. There will be 2 guages at the top of the panel. This is what I have for switches so far... Nitrous arm, nitrous heater, purge, water pump, line lock, and fuel pump. Anything else? What type of switches do ya'll recommend? I want it to look professional.

Wait just a second....YOU are doing this? Oh heart be still.

On a more serious note why not a bottle opener switch in case you ever go that route in the future for more convenience?

The car is still streetable, but will be a trailer queen 1/4 mile car before long. I'm also in the process of putting together a sheet metal guage cluster with all Autometer Cobalt full sweep guages that include fuel level, voltmeter, oil pressure, water temp, pyrometer, trans temp, and a 5" tach. Above the switches will be Autometer Cobalt nitrous pressure and fuel pressure. I'll post some pics up when it's done.

Yeah, right now my line lock is up next to my fog light switch, but it will get moved down to the panel.

With the way that car runs you should put "warp drive" under one switch and "engage badass" under another switch. When are you going to hunt the 9's?

Sunday. I really have to lose some weight though. I would already be in the 9's with a tighter converter, but I don't want to spend the money on a converter when I'm just gonna need another one with the new motor. I will be skipping right by the 9's though once I get the next motor put together.
