Cant do what?

Just hold some card up to the truck, draw the rough shape, cut it out, trim it to perfection, place it over whatever you plan to use, trace round it, cut it out, and fit it to the truck!

Corrugated or thick card template. Use 3mm marine ply for the panels and if you wan a nice finish you can get black acoustic carpet type lining which will stick on with a good spray adhesive of contact adhesive.

To attach to the wing easiest thing is some stubby thick coarse thread self tapping screws, similar to those used on some dash panels. You can get them thick enough to use the existing clip holes but i found it easier to drill 1/8th inch or smaller if you like drill bit and drill new holes approx 6" apart all the way round for a good solid finish.

As Day says, make the template a bit bigger and cut the panels to a rough size then mark it up accurately and cut with a jigsaw.

I used some sort of wood can't remember with a bit of padding and a cother it in leather
It's looks alright from a distance as I made it a bit small as u can see
I used some Allen.key screws I drilled new holes and then threaded the Allen key screen into the body pics
