Help! Can anyone give help on forming the front bobble/screen for my Ercouope? I live in CA/USA

Try "plunge molding". You use clear hard plastic from packaging of something you buy. Your mold needs to be mounted on a little taller stand. Then you make a holder/frame for the plastic from a piece of plywood. Cut a hole in it the shape of mold but 1/4" to 1/2" wider all the way around. Cut a piece of plastic bigger than the hole and staple it over the hole on the bottom side of the plywood. Heat it in the oven to about 200-250 degrees F. It takes 3-5 minutes. Using oven mitts get it out and with the plastic down, push it down over the mold. It took me a few tries (several actually) but eventually you come up with a shaped canopy you can cut out. There are a couple of pictures in my Beaver and Corsair builds. Luke Bozek can also chime in on this. He helped me. It may take practice. Hope this helps.
