The basic shape for the glare shield has already been determined. How it is to be fixed in the car will become clear once all the cockpit elements are together. That's why I started working on the two boxes next. One is for the glove box, the other will be the new home for the instruments. The challenge here was not to simply fold the edges over, but to form soft radii, as in the original. I built a template from a steel tube. The sheet metal should then fit smoothly around the template. In practice, this worked well. However, it is important that the radii are taken into account when cutting the sheet. The spherical corners where the radii had to run in two directions were tricky. After welding the edges, the sheets were smoothed a bit, the corners were planished and the boxes had their desired shape.
I squeeze an iPad for all important engine readings into the glove box and use the holes on the other side as pencil or bottle storage 
. The negative curves on the left and right of the switch panel cut-out are really a pain in the a**s 
. I haven't yet managed to stretch the vinyl enaugh so that it follows the contour. Either there were massive wrinkles or I had to cut it in.
