Mounted and wired the reverse light. I mounted it high to increase the area of illumination. Spaced it the same as the tail lights in the same diagonal line.

Then also made some headway with the center console

The gauges and switches are recessed in to the face board. Still pondering a round routered bevel on the gauge holes.
Did a test and it looks sharp however the router bearing needs to ride against the material below and the board is too thin. Would have to put another board with the exact same hole size underneath.
