Hi Dave,
I was in the same situation as you when I did my Falcon restore. I ended up using the existing panels as guides to make new ones out of HPDE. Then, I used 3M carbon sheets to wrap them. I'm pleased with how it came out...but using a CNC machine to create newer sturdier ones would be even better. There's a guy over on the mastercraft teamtalk board who makes panels for people and he said he could do mine. But, I was in a hurry and anxious to get back on the lake. In my pic, you'll see that I also flush mounted in my dash a GPS / Fish / Depth finder. It's a pretty clean install.
