I had some maple veneer from another project which came in handy to cover the sheet aluminum plates. I think it's much more attractive than painted aluminum.

But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.
