I'm replacing the standard clocks in my Integra DC5 for an ECUMaster ADU7 and would like to mount the ADU in the existing clocks space in the dash by printing a fascia that mounts to the original locations but has a flange to hold the ADU, similar to these: https://racingdisplay.com/products/honda-civic-ep3-type-r-dash-cluster-mount?variant=46675180191901. I've attached photos of the clocks for reference.
I'm struggling to find the best way to tackle this. I can measure and model the back half of the clocks ok (i.e. mounting flanges and general shape) but the front of the clocks is proving difficult, I'm not sure how to extrude / manipulate to the get the compound curves the clocks have.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start? I don't have access to a scanner although I've used my phone in the past with middling success.
Thanks!

There's always a couple of different ways to approach it. Here are a few I would consider...
1. Extrude out a large block and then use an extruded cut from the side view.
2. Loft from the base profile to the outer facia provide - and possibly extruded cut as well. Or you could potentially use a 3D sketch of the shape around the outer profile, and then use the surface patch and then a loft or extrude up to the surface.
Hopefully that triggers some ideas?
