We made ours,the trick is making and keeping them true,I had a straight piece of aluminum rectangular box tube faced with 220 we keep them "honest" on.

You can take the ridged tools pretty far up the side and after that we used a long flexible tool made from 1/2" Acrylic (in the old days I used a sanding Batten) the plastic was cut to a workable width.

There is a brand new 33 inboard dash in blue carbon fiber that can be had.
