Change of plans. Not that I've built anything yet

Originally I was gonna try and build a 747 desktop simulator. The plan is scrapped now because I recently purchased the PMDG 737NG. I wanted to know what all the commotion was about regarding the popularity of the 737. Now I know. Its a great plane. Very easy to fly. And there are more hardware parts available for the 737. Which brings me to my question. I wish to fabricate my own main instrument panel and overhead panel, but I'm having trouble finding detail schematics of both of these things.

Does anyone on here know where I can get the measurements for the overhead panel and MIP with the included measurements for the placement of the switches and knobs and gauges so that I am able to start designing these in my design software?

Should help with measurements:

http://www.opencockpits.com/modules.php ... load&cid=9

Check out the various links above, some might be in Spanish, but there are a lot of images that can help.

Some of the better 737 sites I've seen:
