Wouldn't it be awesome if someone came up with an STC'd Cherokee panel

panel down, and get at the back of the radios, instruments and
switches?
Is there some reason this hasn't been attempted?

As atleast one other has pointed out, the Cherokee panel is structural,
and modifications to it must be done with this in mind. I doubt that a
flip down panel could be accomplished and the structural nature of the
panel be preserved.

One note of interest... Cherokee Six/Saratoga class Pipers, that have a
baggage compartment in between the cabin and the engine, have removable
panels that allow access to the back of the instrument panel.
