Dave, I like the idea of keeping the ZW static and the hinged panel around it. My concern with the meters flat behind the zw on the same plane is that the will be hard to see back there. Maybe I will keep the transformer area sunken ( flat with the base of the panel box and have the flip up panel surround that area. I think I can gain enough height with the slope so the meters are easier to see.

Be careful that you will still be able to raise the handles to max voltage if you do this (it may not even just be "max" that is a concern, it could interfere before that). 

As shown in your picture, the handles stick out behind the imaginary vertical plane of the rear "wall" of the chassis when raised to higher voltages.

Without having a ZW in front of me right now to look, it's probably something like half way or so where the handles stick straight up (when on a flat surface).  After that, they break the imaginary plane that defines the back wall of the chassis (and therefore, could hit your sloped panel)
