Hello Al, I went to this outfit:
http://www.harborsales.net/
and purchased two white 4 foot by 8 foot polystyrene sheets. One was .040
inches thick and the other was .060 inches thick. I picked the one that
seemed to give me the right combination of stiffness and flexibility. Either
one would have worked -- I can't remember which thickness I used -- still
have the other full sheet stored someplace.
I used some large sheets of cardboard to develop a pattern by trial and
error. The glare shield curved front edge is wedged between the inner
fuselage surface and some epoxied in place wedge openings. The aft end
projects past the top of the instrument panel 3 to 4 inches and is held to
the top of the instrument panel by velcro strips.
The shield is painted with flat, light gray paint (no reflections). The aft
edge is covered with push on self grip edging similar to this:

I did something similar to OC. I build a cardboard base and used pour foam to make a block of foam. Then I carved it in a basically stright line from the top of the panel to the window. The did the normal thing of covering it with masking tape then plastic tape and did a 3 ply layup. Also, I did a release off the top of the panel and glassed that piece on to the front of the glare shield so it stuck out in front of the panel a couple inches to shade the panel.
My interior guy made my seat cushions and he used the same leather like material to cover the glare shield. He put a thin layer of soft�foam on the top of the glare shild and wrapped it around the front to make a soft edge. He didn't bond the leather to the glare shield. He just let it float and it looks great concidering how wavey my original part is.
The glare shild sits on a couple of short piece of pop sickle stick at the front (just like Rich's airplane) and has a couple pieces of velcro on top of the panel to hold it in place. Seems to work great.

Can anyone share ideas on how they fashioned the instrument panel dust shield?
I have some ideas but want to see if I missed something.

Ted,
I should have called it the glare shield. �Post your suggestion to the KIS list so we can all read it.
