I had heard that the sides panels are made from a material called KYDEX. It
is a heat formable plastic. It costs around 100$ for a 4x8 sheet. This is
true for some Navy aircraft. They also make plastic tanks out of it. I am
still researching it.

Hi, Ken, I'll keep my eye out for real side panels, molding the side
panels would probably be cost prohibitive given their size. I may attempt to
make a section from a plug and pull multiple parts from it to form the inner
walls, its down the road a bit yet. Thanks

That is why I'll have one of the fiberglass shops do it unless cost is
to high.
Sound like you are coming along. The sides are anothere thing that might
be made but they are quite long and making a mold and then forming plastic
over them could be difficult. It might be possible to make them in pieces
and screw or glue them togethere. Any thoughts?

garage). If you fix the warpage and make a mold and some parts, I think
there would be a demand for them. I'm now in the need of the inner walls, I
don't think I could replicate them easily, If anyone has a line on them,
drop me a email. Thanks

Hi Mike, The only problem is that mine is not original. It is a
plastic one and needs to be fixed.( some warpage) but if you don't need
original I can check into that as well. It does fix the space and looks
pretty good thou.

Thanks for the pics, If you could get a mold done of the glare
sheild, I think there might be a good demand for that too, I just finished
making mine, built a plug from wood/bondo and layed up a glass part, was
very time consuming, the Glareshields I 've come across were expensive, just
a thought

Your welcome, If you need more pics let me know. I'm planning to
get better ones of the throttle guide and the HUD mount. I also have a
simulated ACESII seat.(I'll upload a pic). Would anyone be interested in a
fiberglass copy of the backrest and seat pan since they are the hardest
parts to make. I could find out what it would cost to make a mold. Lots of
fiberglass shops in the area. If there is enough call for this it may be
cost effective. Any other items let me know.
