Default Custom made parts?

I posted a thread a week or so of the new Formula I just got, Restoring boats is new to me, I have done a couple cars and a motorcycle but never a boat, so I am pretty excited about it but I need some direction. I have tried to find answers online but, where do yo go to get parts like your new dash (i'm talking about in between where the top of the gauge plate and the windshield meet), what material is best to use? On mine now the plastic coating is coming off and the fiberglass is starting to show. Is this the best way to go back in with it, or should I try another material, or should I just recover it with the laminate/plastic? Is it still possible to get factory parts for an 83' formula F3LS? I need the top hatch of the cuddy door, along with the port side window (the front section is missing). There are multiple odds and ends things that are missing. I'm sure with the knowledge on here, I could be led in the right direction. Thanks for any advice!

I think you will have a hard time getting factory parts like you are talking about. You can still get things like emblems and such. The hatch and port side window you can probably have made at a plastics shop.
