    I take some spongee rubber packing material that is smooth on one side and sort of egg crate on the other ( Procharger uses it for packing material) put it over the trans with egg crate side toward trans and use waxed freezer paper on the top side--apply layers of glass overit

    End up with panel that is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches clearance from trans
    Use as many layers to get thickness you want/need

    Pull out chunks of sponge after cured--about the simplist way I have tryed in my 67 years( On 3-13 )

    My Kid did a steel one in his '29 (not done yet) but he made a form out of 1/8 round rods and sort of made a skelaton first, then welded shaped pieces of 18 gauge sheet metal over it, bent to fit the contours. Worked pretty well.

    Fiberglass. I enlarged mine and then cut the old one out. I used medium density foam and covered that with duct tape. Glassed over that, cut the old one out, pulled out foam, and finished.
