Here are the Pictures of the current console, if you can tell it curves out in the middle.

could make a mold of it, and go from there. Make a mold of your positve, and then with your negative you can create your piece and pop it out of the negative mold.

Dan, are you going to build off of the current one? or copy it and use that as a skeleton to make something more fancier and better looking?

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

i was leaning more towards using this as skeleton and build on in, but now that i am going to glass whole dash i think i am going to design a custom console
