Making a supplementary dashboard for the Morris to fit a water temp gauge to the souped up sidevalve car. Spare glovebox cover from a scrapped car, trimmed down and then an MDF press tool shoved into a vice. It took quite a bit of Dremel work (and filler, but don't tell anyone) to get it looking half right. I also lost the boot catch when the chrome plater went out of business so I borrowed one and carved up some pieces of 8mm plate to make a copy. A bit more TIG filling and it can go off to another plating place or maybe just painted. Can you plate onto Sifbronze8? Original was cast brass of some sort.
Usual story...nobody wants one until AFTER you've finished it and then it's "Ooooh...can I have one???"
