Dude, I thought I explained this before.

Use some plywood and cut and glue sandwhichws of it together to get the rough shape, then you use body filler to build up the areas prior to sanding. Sand one side to your liking, then use a profile board so when you sand the other side, you can make them near identical. Once done, blow ALL the dust out, ensure your window/cooling vent lines are defined and then get it vacformed, use a thinner sheet at first, it will mould easier (less heat).

You can't use Clay, as to use it to pull a mould, you have to fire it first, and it will shrink....
