You didn't say whether you want a 289 or 427 glove box. My 289 street (not FIA) replica has a dead on dash traced and measured from an original and checked against an original owner's car (he bought it new and still has it so I know it hasn't been altered). The door is cut from 3/8" Baltic or Russian birch plywood. The latch is from a Nash Metropolitan but I turned one out on my lathe from a template of the original. The opening in the dash has a lip about one inch wide that is about 45 deg bent in all around except at the bottom where the hinge lays and there it is horizontal. There is a strap about 3/8-1/2 inch wide and is screwed to the door 2" from the top and 2 1/2" in from the right hand edge and goes to the top and inside the dash (to hold the door level). The 289 dash has no padding under the leather but the glovebox has a very thin ( maybe 1/8") of a fine horsehair pad to give it a subtle curved shape. See my car in my gallery if you can figure out how-I never seem to be able to.
