I thought the yammyheads would appreciate it since it is 70% cr-3020.

In honor of Hanukkah, it should be a Yamaco.
thanks, I'll be here through Thursday!
Bk, do you still need to fill the empty fuse holder area or thinking about putting a C-4 like light there?

Post a pick of how the face is mounted from the inside?
I take it there is nowhere for the PS to go, even with standoffs moving it away from the bezel?

Never mind the pics, I looked at the earlier photos.
The face mounts to a twin that is part of the chassis or at least fastened to it.
In other systems, there is sometimes a circuit board mounted between the two and the resulting gap covered with sheet metal or plastic.
You would have to think about the aesthetic, money and time, but a front bezel could be made to stand off the chassis mounts giving you room for anything you want. A machine shop or old school body shop could fold the metal and weld the seams for you inc cutting any holes you want. Or the existing bezel could be built up on the sides etc...Its a project for sure.
There are also front mount digital meters that eliminate the whole issue, they are in the youtube video I posted earlier
There are also meters that cold be mounted on the front of the bezel, as to the aesthetic, you would have to decide. You could also take another chasis and create a remote meter unit for a kick, companies did sell them with the large analog meters.
Obviously this one does Volts, there must be watt meters out there. The circuitry and pick ups are another story.
This one is $8.00 for just the meter.

I have 2 300w non inductive resistors. When I power it on from cold the lights dim, that's for sure- if not, I have a backup generator
Btk,
I hope you don't mind me sharing the picture of your home, I know you don't want any invited guest just showing up to hear the system.

More like 40.5vac, tested it today at a healthy 205w per channel. Still a good outcome considering the 3020 is rated at 160w.
