I decided to make my instrument panel from carbon fiber, primarily to avoid riveting angle to the profile of the aluminum version. I like the Super Cub style panels that have a formed flange for which to attach the glare shield and boot cowl. The best way to do this was to do it with carbon fiber because it can be molded.
I build my mold from 3/4" MDF and used 2 layers. The top has the cutout shape of the panel. I used Bondo to form a fillet around the perimeter, and sanded it smooth, then primed and wet sanded. The next step is a glossy top coat to get the best carbon layup finish.
