I would suggest using card or thick paper and cut to size

card 100%

if you have a look at my pictures... i made my own dash from card and then wood and fibre glass.

paper or thin card is near impossible to do.

getting the angle right is a pain but i found that the outside angle and corner was the same as the inside so i used the outside of the scuttle as a guide then cut the card into two left side and right side then stuck together to get the width correct.

hope that makes sense.

good luck.

maybe we need a locost template which we can print out and use....

Thanks

Did mine with a piece of scrap hardboard.
