Continuing with making the panels for the rumble seat area, the middle piece wraps down from lock latch and goes underneath.
Since this needed to bend, I used door panel board-like material. I couldn't find any door panel board around here, and getting a single sheet of it shipped costs more than the piece itself as they are usually 32x48.
So I found a cheaper, readily available alternative—an uncut picture framing mat board. My local Micheals store had black-on-black 32x40 mat board for about $14 a sheet.
I cut the mat board out using Gary's template and then rolled it over a shipping tube I got parts in from Max Merrit to put the radiused bend into it.
The last picture shows it roughly in place. Just held there by the cheek panels. Once I fasten it in place, it should be a nearly perfect fit.
