Brief Description:  Instrument Panel Part 1

To continue with the boot cowl, the next step is to make the instrument panel. I used .050 2024T3 sheet for the panel. I used XPanel 5000 Professional version software to design my panel. (www.xpanelsoftware.com) Once my panel shape was done in the computer I printed out a life-sized mockup of the panel and traced the outline onto the instrument panel sheet. Using the paper template I cut the top curves and made the measurements (10 inches tall) on the panel blank. I used the proper bend radius and bent the panel bottom edge on my ancient, pre-WWII 4ft brake.
