Looking great Andrew. Looks heaps better than a flat edge.
Another hint... Some engineers requires some padding over that part of the dash.
After you have finished with the bog to final shape get some vinyl upholstery material and contact it over the area to be padded. Wax the surface of the vinyl with carnauba wax a couple of times, then lay on a couple of layers of glass over the waxed vinyl.
After it has cured you can remove the fiberglass glass off the vinyl. Then remove the vinyl off the body. Trim the glass moulding to the shape you want.
This leaves you with a fiberglass moulding that is an exact shape of the coaming but is the thickness of the vinyl wider than your dash radius.
You can then glue on some padding over the glass and cover that with your upholstery material. Wrap the vinyl under the fiberglass moulding and you end up with a push on padded crash pad that can be removed if you don't want it long term after final inspection.
Cheers
