Northernoffshore's Idea Is Probably The Best Way To Go... The Other Thing You Could If You Didnt Want A Bunch Of Little Humps Is Cut The Center Section Of The Hump And Lift To Fit The 3 Large Gauges And Glass It.
I Have A 260 And Wanted To Remove The Dash Hump Is It Finished Back There?

You can also take some expanding foam. Pour it into a box and just shape the stuff tell you get what you want. Then you can just glass over the top of that. Works killer. Wish I had a picture of some of the speaker pods that I made.

There ya go!!! Make some tests with resin. That grean foam will react poorly to a LOT of resins. Just take a piece that you cut out and run a test with the resin that you choose.

make sure you leave yourself enough room to access the back of the gauges to attach wires and get to the mounting hardware. also if that foam reacts to the resin you might try using an epoxy instead of poly or put on a barrier. PVA or even something as simple as just covering it with a layer of masking tape. good luck, look'in good so far
