Project Repair to Roll

Recommended Posts

The two white pieces in the last photo above are for screws to hold the replacement dash cover. .. . the one that is being made.   As with all things bespoke, a template needs to be made and fitted.   Somewhat like the Saville Row experience, except without the tailor, the cloth, the threads ... the shop ... but we have paper and scissors! :)

The iPAD approach allows the addition and subtraction of additional paper extensions, and is able to work in the absence of electricity and electronic computers (you still need the one between the ears).  The iPAD template is then transferred to styrene that is bent after appropriate application of heat to the corners.

Obviously, this is an excellent opportunity to make use of the scrap styrene stock that tends to accumulate over time.

Some fettling required to get the lines right.   No need to be too worried about taking too much off because
