I remade one for my street '64 Spitfire out of sheet metal. Aluminum, actually -- I forget what thickness but thick enough it holds its shape well under mild stress. Holds up better, looks nicer.?
?
Used the beat-up cardboard for a template. Did the whole thing on my workbench with a ball-peen hammer and a pair of tin snips. Bends are very basic -- a 2 x 4 worked fine as a bending press. Even folded over the front edge to avoid the possibility of a sharp edge. Attached it in the car with pop-rivets.?
?
Of course, I just wanted a useable glovebox. Wasn't doing a concours restoration. '64 Spit didn't have a door, it's just an open tray. Painted it the car color. Looked good.?
