I was wondering the same thing myself , a panel is not hard to make at all.
If you have built an airplane the panel should be about the easiest part.
Are you planning on building this panel out of a special material? If it's
metal I would do it myself.

At this point, I would consider anything. I've been talking to some of
the
dumbest phone sales people I can imagine. I've e-mailed the CAD file to
20
or so firms that advertise "custom panels" and, so far, no replies
except
for one local CNC shop that quoted $855 for the 9-hole 18" panel in
..125"
sheet.

This is a homebuilt group. Have you considered building it yourself?
