Need wiring/hardware help....

My area of experience is not in custom electrical wiring, but I bet I can get some info here that will assist me.

I plan to remove the entire underdash wire harness and bulkhead connector and only wire for functions I need. After 20+ years, most of it race car time, it is a mess under there. Also, a few other local GN racers are almost at this point, so again I am the "test mule".

What I am looking to do is run both a ground and power from the battery [in the trunk] to a distribution panel in the interior - like above the pass footwell. From there I will go to 2 sub-panels - one for switched power, other for constant on power.

The starter will have a remote solenoid and its own cable directly from the battery, so it will not be on this system.

The switched power panel would have a relay to power it up.

Not a lot of functions to deal with in a race car, lights, fans, trans brake, line lock, RPM switch and few similar items.

What I am looking to find are these 3 panels [or whatever the proper name] with out the high $$$ race parts. Seems like some high end stereos I have seen in GN's are fitted with wild components and really nice installs.

Appreciate any comments and advise if I am on the right track looking for stereo type parts. [Actually I have used a high AMP stereo re-setable breaker for years w/the trunk mounted battery!]

Thanks in advance for any help.
