Picked up finished panel. Inspected and test fit panel. I didn't try the fuselage skin and the mounting holes to the skin, but so far it fits and overall it looks good. I'm finding some problems.

I fixed loose PEM nuts around the access panel using an arbor press. The access panel door has an interference fit and needs work. Some rivets attaching the backing plate for the access panel were over driven and distorted the backing plate.

Aluminum angle parts for radio trays were installed on wrong sides and do not align vertically with cut out in panel. The gap between the angles and the sides of the cut out are not equal. The parts were not deburred before they were riveted.

The line graphics on the copilot side had some breaks. The line width of the source material was the same on the pilot and copilot side and the pilot side printed okay.

The 90 degree bend at the bottom of the panel wasn't 90 degrees all the way across the panel.

Removed panel and bulkhead structure from the fuselage. Marked and bent the 7 degree angle in the two side bulkhead panels. Measured actual location of radios in finished panel and used SolidWorks to determine the cut out in the center bulkhead panel. Center bulkhead is marked and ready for cutting.
