Get a big sheet of card, and make a pattern out of it. Trim it back until you get the shape you want, make big holes round the bones and glue card
back on the get the shape right.
When you've finished you can tape the pattern onto the ali sheet and cut it out.

I spent many an evening dremmelling my fiberglass side panels. Once I had the shape I liked I just copied it onto the other panel.
To get a really nice finish you could use a hole cutter like calvinx has done and then smooth it down. Works a treat for fiberglass, might need to be
a little more careful on ally.

treat , and fitted first time . hope this helps , i know its a little late .
